NAB: 'The Key For Radio Is To Stay Relevant,' Says Ford Motor Company's Scott Brunell

7

THE MOUTH, APRIL 27TH, 2017 –– This week's comments by Ford Motor Company's Scott Brunnel (inset) during The NAB 'Vegas Show likely proved both enlightening and a tad scary for its radio attendees. “Eventually, the living room is going to be in the car,’’ says Scott Burnell, who runs the developer program for Ford Motor Co. He told radio attendees at the NAB Show, that people in connected cars will not be turning a radio dial like they have for decades. Instead they will be using mobile devices connected to their dashboards and streaming audio or video content from apps like Pandora, Spotify and Apple Music.

"The key for radio stations to stay relevant in the modern age is to get onto those mobile devices with apps by offering content over the internet," said Burnell, who is staffing Ford’s booth at the NAB Show for the first time. “Radio broadcasters’ core competency is deliver of content. It shouldn’t matter to them the method by which they deliver it. They should want to deliver it the way their endusers want to consume it," says Brunell. WATCH HERE
