Conducted by RAB Senior Vice President of Training, Lynn Anderson, recently named one of "The 50 Most Influential Women in Radio" by Radio Ink Magazine, now three years in a row, is a veteran of Radio on-air, sales, station and cluster and network management. Most notably, she was President and General Manager of KISS FM/AM in Los Angeles, leading the FM station to become the nation's highest billing FM and the first station in Los Angeles to achieve a 10 share. Breaking the Daily Habit: Winning New Radio Dollars from Print uncovers how to position Radio's strengths against newspapers and exposes the inequity that exists between newspapers' dwindling circulation figures and its share of local advertising budgets.

"Knowing your competition is a critical part of being a strategic radio salesperson, and that's why this is a unique opportunity to understand how newspapers are being sold. Hope to see you there!" remarked Terry DeVoto, President of the Northern California Broadcasters Association.

"Radio is a significant advertising medium in the San Francisco, San Jose and Sacramento markets," comments Philippe Generali, President of Media Monitors. "In 2005 we brought the RAB's Lynn Anderson and her sales training session to overflow crowds in Houston, Baltimore and a few weeks ago to record attendance, standing room only, at two sessions in New York City. We have had numerous requests to do west-coast training, so we're proud to send Lynn to her home state of California."

"The more Radio salespeople learn about effectively selling against competitive media, the more our industry will productively strengthen its share of advertiser dollars," added Gary Fries, President and Chief Executive Officer of RAB. "Media Monitors' generous support of this series makes it an extraordinary opportunity for Radio sellers and managers to obtain valuable information that will help construct their business."
