RadioInsight Seeks to Fill Discussion Board Void

RADIO ONLINE | Wednesday, December 11, 2013 | 3:35pm CT

The operators of some of the radio community's popular web destinations have partnered to provide a new home for the conversations that were left hanging by the abrupt closure in early December of the popular forums at RadioDiscussions.com. The site was the descendant of the original discussion boards at Radio-Info.com, founded by radio enthusiasts Lance Venta, Tanim Hussain and Doug Fleming. After Fleming's death and a change of control of that site, Venta launched RadioInsight.com in 2006.

Earlier in 2013, Venta and Scott Fybush began developing a new facet of the site, the RadioInsight Community (radioinsightcommunity.com). With the shutdown of the former RadioDiscussions boards, users have been invited to the RadioInsight Community to continue talking about radio and television topics. "I want to allow those that love and care for radio in any form to share thoughts and ideas leading to the betterment of the medium," Venta said.

"I'm delighted to have a new place to keep talking about radio," said Fybush. "The radio community is a small one, and it's valuable to have a friendly place where current and former broadcasters and listeners can all interact."

Registration for the RadioInsight Community is free.
