Around August 1998, several of my former business associates met with him at my former office located at 145 West 45th Street in New York City. During that meeting, we exchanged ideas about the future of the music industry and discussed strategies for introducing independent record labels to the emerging process of converting vinyl recordings into what would later become widely known as MP3 digital files. The conversation was groundbreaking for its time, and Mr. Williams was open-minded enough to offer us the opportunity to help spearhead a dance music channel on the Click Radio software platform called "Play DJ." That experience made me realize I needed to deepen my understanding of startup development and venture growth. Shortly afterward, my former business colleague Reggie Laroach and I enrolled in a nine-week continuing studies course at Stanford University titled "Bus 16: Startups - From Idea to IPO". The experience became a defining moment in my entrepreneurial journey. You can read more about that chapter of my life here: [Byron Burke at Stanford: Hustle, Survival & Startup Vision](https://rudetymz.com/news/f/byron-burke-at-stanford-hustle-survival-startup-vision) Click Radio helped pave the way for major record companies to begin converting their music catalogs into digital formats, contributing to a major shift in how music would eventually be distributed worldwide. It was inspiring to witness a young Black entrepreneur take a visionary idea and successfully raise more than $40 million to bring that vision to life. At the same time, it was difficult to later witness that dream unravel due to corporate politics, greed, and the absence of a strong support structure focused on protecting his long-term interests.

I'm glad I experienced CBS Radio during its many reincarnations. It's fun to visit when you're in the city. Before Covid anyway! CBS Radio was a radio broadcasting company and radio network operator owned by CBS Corporation, and consolidated radio station groups owned by CBS and Westinghouse Broadcasting/Group W since the 1920s and Infinity Broadcasting since the 1970s. The broadcasting company was sold to Entercom on November 17, 2017. CBS News Radio, formerly known as CBS Radio News and historically known as the CBS Radio Network, provides news to more than 1,000 radio stations throughout the United States. The network is owned by ViacomCBS. My daughter worked at Viacom years ago. While the network's World News Roundup is the longest-running news show on radio or TV in the U.S., the title of longest-running network radio show of any kind goes to another CBS Radio program--'Music and the Spoken Word', a half-hour of music and inspirational thought featuring the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. It began on July 15, 1929 and currently airs each Sunday morning at 11:30 Eastern Time. Just as a tidbit of information, the longest running radio show of any kind is the Grand Ole Opry, broadcast on WSM in Nashville, Tennessee since November 28, 1925.

My tickets arrived in the mail on time and the show was supposed to be at 6:30 on a Sunday. I already felt it was a big risk because I had to go to work the next morning. To get straight to the point , summer jam was disorganized where rain caused heavy delays, the show didn't start until 9:30. I felt that the intermissions should of been shorter since we were cut on time and the permit allows music up until a certain hour. There was tons of technical problems where the equipment wasn't that great, the sound was too low and some of the lights above didn't work properly. I felt bad for the dj when MetLife didn't do what he asked . The music itself was amazing , such a great line up and wonderful surprises like Ashanti , Rick Ross, busta rhymes , Kanye west , the list goes on and on . However you can tell they were being rushed and were cut on time, it got so bad to the point that future wasn't even able to perform at the end and dj khaled mic got shut off , so rude. Oh and what I don't like is how there was a gun flashed on the floor seats so half the stadium zoomed out , and then I found out someone got stabbed in the neck that same night . On top of that everyone was so high that I got high off second hand smoke lol didn't anticipate that , I saw people mix Molly and bud, the girls in front of me weebled and wobbled the whole night . I also didn't enjoy getting home at 3 in the morning. While I love the music and hot 97, I can't see myself returning for the sake of safety and their lack of organization .

She reports the weather very professionally, with style, and a sense of humor. I've been watching the local news for decades in NYC, and the main reason I watch PIX11 is to see her. She looks like she was a model. Another reason I always watch PIX11 is that the news anchors report the news in a very relaxed manner. They are never in a hurry to finish their news line to go to commercials. They beat the big three, CBS, NBS, AND ABC, because they are on the air more often than they are.
