Jacobs Media AQ2

Jacobs Media is rolling out AQ2 (Air Talent Questionnaire) -- the follow-up survey to last year's study aimed at radio talent, and they're asking for all air personalities to participate. This study of air talent, hosts and teams and their producers is a collaboration between Jacobs Media and Morning Show Boot Camp, with the results being presented at MSBC 31 in Chicago on August 8-9.

If you're on the air or produce a show for a commercial radio station in the U.S., you're exactly who they would like to participate. Jacobs Media says the results of this survey can be a great learning tool, whether you're new on the air or a long-time veteran. An understanding of how your peers on the air think about your profession and the issues of the day can only make you better and smarter.

A few key things to know:

• This survey and all individual information provided is absolutely confidential. No radio companies are involved with this survey. No IDs are used for tracking purposes. Everyone who takes the survey gets the exact same link so there is no way for any personally identifiable information to be tagged to anyone taking the survey.

• They don't share your info with anybody (so taking the survey will not cause SPAM or sales calls).

• This is not a short survey, and we think you'll find it interesting. However, it may take as long as 15 minutes to complete. We got an excellent response in our first study last year. We plan to update it again next year, and the results will be tracked over time.
