Out to Lunch with Maxwell Schaeffer Part Two

In Part Two of our conversation with former KIOA morning personality Maxwell Schaeffer we talk about how radio and the radio business has changed. How local programming is now almost gone, about decisions made in a far off corporate headquarters and how shareholders, rather than listeners and local management, now dictate direction. We'll also talk about future plans, his playwright wife Karen Schaeffer his Sports Director son Jon Schaeffer at We Are Iowa TV 5 and more. For those of you who wondered what it's like have a listen. And thank you Jesses Embers for a great lunch.
