Digital transformation of the music industry
On the impact of technology on the music business, Morrow said, “It has changed it tremendously. It is quite amazing. The geography of media has completely changed what we are doing but there will never ever be anything like live radio. It doesn’t happen in the human element.”
The radio vet continued, “With technology, everybody is so intrigued with what is going on, and we haven’t really tipped the iceberg digitally yet. Who knows what the next thing will be. It never stops, so where do we get comfortable? Comfort zone is in your home when you are listening.”
