Book Reviews of No Static: A Guide to Creative Radio Programming (Book)

Book Review: Remarkably lacking in content...
Summary: 2 Stars

This books presents itself as a helpful guide to programmers, promoters, and everyday jocks for programming improvement. Surprisingly, the book was primarily based on author Quincy McCoy's own journey through the ranks in radio and his personal trials along the way. McCoy's story, albeit a testament of his talent, unfortunately lacks a great deal of content for those who are looking for a "book of good radio ideas". A better choice for today's programming staff, in more encyclopedic form and coming from another radio guru, is Radio: The Book, Fourth Edition by Steve Warren.

Summary of No Static: A Guide to Creative Radio Programming (Book)

Practical techniques and exercises help develop leadership skills that encourage creativity, motivate staff, increase flexibility and nurture teamwork.
