Marketing Community Radio - A Comprehensive Marketing Guide for Broadcasters
'Marketing Community Radio' covers a broad range of topics relevant to the needs of community radio. This publication was researched and prepared by Max MacDonald for and on behalf of the Community Broadcasting Foundation as a guide for stations in promoting their services to their communities and audiences. However, it does not necessarily represent the views of the Community Broadcasting Foundation as such.
