Monday Memo: Leapfrog Legacybox

BLOCK ISLAND, RI — National media does well selling products, most of which aren’t manufactured locally. Local media does best selling services, which are inherently local. National advertisers selling services are disadvantaged, because the Help Wanted sign is everywhere, the U.S. Postal Service is crippled by politics, and supply chain issues haunt every industry.
Example? One of network radio’s biggest advertisers, currently disappointing me and countless others. And I see opportunity.
