'30 Under 30'

EDISON RESEARCH has announced the winners of its 2011 search for "30 Under 30" -- the 30 up-and-coming broadcasters from all aspects of the radio industry who are 30 years old or younger. The company received over 200 nominations the 30 up-and-coming broadcasters involved with all aspects of the radio industry are all under 30 years old.

"We were surprised and thrilled with both the quality and the quantity of the 2011 '30 Under 30' nominees," EDISON Pres. LARRY ROSIN says.  "It was not easy to narrow the group down to 30 honorees; it easily could have been '60 Under 30'. We hope this announcement of 30 great young radio talents provides some positive news for the radio industry as well as encouragement to the next generation of broadcasters."

All "30 Under 30" honorees will receive free registration for the ARBITRON CLIENT CONFERENCE and JACOBS MEDIA SUMMIT to be held in BALTIMORE on Dec. 6th-8th, during which a cocktail party will be held in their honor.
