A couple of weeks ago…we talked about Amazon and Yahoo offering programmatic inventory for iHearts audio products. We see this as further breakdown in the traditional sales role that radio stations have with their clients…

Ah…but to find out we called up our intrepid ad agency/media buying master, Mr. Ed Steenman of Steenman and Associates in Seattle - a man who, when he’s not sailing the turgid waters of the Puget sound he’s handling budgets for auto groups, dealers and other retail clients.
