2020EDITORIAL CALENDAR

JANUARY 6 Space 12/16/19* Art 12/18/19*Executive of the YearWho is the one executive that has made the biggest impact on the industry in the previous 12 months? Our editorial board digs deep through the many successes that took place and put that person on the cover. Who is the one executive who made the boldest moves in 2019, the biggest decisions? It’s Radio Ink’s Radio Executive of the Year, and we highlight that individual with a special cover story as well as quotes from other executives throughout the industry.

FEBRUARY 10 Space 1/24 Art 1/27Best Country PDs / Country Radio SeminarEvery February, the Radio Ink team heads to Nashville to cover the wildly popular Country Radio Seminar. And every year, we crown the Best Country Program Directors in America with awards we hand out at the event. These awards have become one of the highlights of CRS; it’s a great way to kick off our first list of the year. Radio Ink is in the center of the action, handing out awards with every important country PD and radio executive, as well as popular country artists. This issue focuses on everything about the most popular music format on radio; we work with CRS. Bonus Distribution: Country Radio Seminar, February 19-21

MARCH 2 Space 2/14 Art 2/17Radio’s African American LeadersMeet the 2020 class of Future African American Leaders. This is the 8th year we’ll be putting out the call for the future leaders in the African-American radio community. And as always, we find them on the air, on the streets selling, in the GM’s office, and running markets. Who are they? And what insights can they offer on achieving success in our industry?

Special Report: Our annual feature on the coolest-looking and most innovative studio designs is back where we detail the build-outs, costs and vendors and highlight the entire spread with tons and tons of pictures.

MARCH 16 Space 2/28 Art 3/2Hispanic RadioThis Hispanic Format Focus coincides with our Hispanic Radio Conference, examining how radio continues to take advantage of the growing U.S. Hispanic population. How is Hispanic radio selling, how does it compete, who’s best at executing this programming, and what role does digital play? What are advertisers saying, and which companies are leading the way? Interviews include GMs, SMs, PDs, and consultants.Bonus Distribution: Hispanic Radio Conference, March 25-26

APRIL 13 Space 3/27 Art 3/30NAB Las VegasRADIO’S TOP 20 LEADERS Now in its fourth year, this list has become a favorite of our readers. A big part of its popularity is that our online leaders get to vote for those they believe are the top leaders in the industry. Some of who they vote for go on to make Radio Ink’s longest running list - The 40 most Powerful People in Radio. They may not have all the power — YET — but they are looked up to as great leaders.Bonus Distribution: NAB, April 19-22

MAY 26 Space 5/8 Art 5/11Most Influential Women in RadioSome people ask, why put a list together of women only? Our answer is because we LOVE to highlight the great work they do in our industry, especially mentoring other. And, because those who make this list truly love it. This issue includes a “who’s who” of women in leadership, the Most Influential Women in Radio list has been the basis of mentoring groups for industry women and is an important place for radio suppliers and companies to show support and enhance brand loyalty among this distinguished group.

JUNE 22 Space 6/5 Art 6/8 Most Successful Program Directors in Radio

This programming-heavy issue reviews the most successful and most in-demand PDs who are creating radio’s best content. You can hear it on their stations, and it shows in the ratings. What does it take to be a great program director? How and why are these programmers successful? Who do these great PDs admire and want to work for? How do you pay your dues and make it to the top? Because of high programmer/management/marketing readership, this is an excellent place to make stations aware of format and program options.Bonus Distribution: PDs in Top 50 Markets
