From AllAccess.com:
There are very few scenarios in radio that haven’t been done many time before, but YEA Networks CEO George Laughlin encountered a challenge that hardly anyone ever overcame when in 2013, Kidd Kraddick suddenly passed away, leaving his highly successful morning show in the lurch. Yet Laughlin and the talent cast members of the show were able to not only keep the show afloat, but make it more successful. That has allowed Laughlin to expand YEA’s catalog to include more on-air content – including the just-announced launch of Tino Cochino Radio — as well as digital and experiential products. Here, Laughlin describes how YEA Networks was able to succeed through challenging times.
