Nominations Now Being Accepted for 'Radio's Rising Stars' The Radio Advertising Bureau and Radio Ink Magazine are teaming up to identify radio's next generation of leaders. Nominations are now being accepted for "Radio's Rising Stars," which will recognize 40 of the best and brightest men and women aged 35 or under working within the radio industry today. Candidates can come from stations, syndication companies, representation firms, radio networks, digital, and other entities with a direct relationship to radio, one which has a demonstrable impact on the industry. "It's exciting to see young people come into radio, and in a few short years, show some real promise, enthusiasm and a love for the business," said Erica Farber, President/CEO of the Radio Advertising Bureau. "It's important we continue to attract young people to our industry, and cultivate them and their future potential. The 'Rising Stars of Radio' list and panel at the Radio Show not only recognizes these young leaders' contributions, but it also helps us all learn from them why they believe Radio is a great place to work and what they see for the future of our evolving business." Several of the "Radio's Rising Stars" honorees will be featured as part of a panel discussion on the state of radio during the upcoming Radio Show in Dallas, Sept. 19-21. Radio Ink Publisher Eric Rhoads added, "The focus of 'Rising Stars' is to identify those individuals who possess the potential and the passion to be the radio industry's innovators and leaders of tomorrow. It also continues the Radio Ink tradition of seeking out excellence in radio. The young professionals tapped as 'Rising Stars' this year will be names to watch. Over the coming years, they are likely to make their way to becoming Radio Wayne recipients, MIW's and Top 40 honorees. We are proud to partner with RAB in spotlighting the 'Rising Stars'."
