The woman who is allowed to drive (or the hippie) from Page 1 has returned, and is doing a News Report on the behind-the-scenes staff at a radio station.  These are all fireable people. In fact, since this book was published, everyone in this picture has been replaced by a single smart phone.

You see, in the 80's, there was a need for a guy who holds nun-chucks by the chain, a lip-synching background singer and a lady holding a primitive iPad called a "notebook".  But now, there's an app for all that. 

When new management recently took over the last radio station where I worked, they held up a smart phone at a meeting (I was there) and basically said "we can access any part of any radio station we own from anywhere with one of these".  That really happened.

The news woman who is allowed to drive (or the hippie) was replaced by Google, shortly after filing this news report.

    Welcome to Our Radio Station

    On this blog, I'll go page by page in this coloring book, comparing 1983's idea of radio to today's.  It's actually quite similar, save a few minor differences.
