In 1996 Radio Ink began what would become radio's bible of power, a ranked listing of the 40 Most Powerful People in Radio. On July 11th, 2011 our 16th edition of that issue will be released. It will feature many changes, shifts in power and up and coming movers and shakers. 1996 was also the year of Telecommunications Act that opened the floodgates to consolidation. At the time, Clear Channel only owned 100 radio stations. Of course that number would grow to over 1100 only ten years later before settling back to where Clear Channel is today at 840. Can you name the 5 most powerful people in Radio from 1996? Here are the 8 top names from that first list. You pick out the Top 5.
