#TBT Record World's #CollegeRadio airplay report from #OTD in 1971. IMHO #RecordWorld was one of the better music trade weeklies. It was often the first to seriously cover niche markets like #LatinMusic and they even had a "#NewWave Hit Parade" for a while. College radio got their own section way before anyone else was paying attention! 🎵 🎶 📻 👍 😁 #Music #Radio #Broadcasting #Media #MusicBusiness #History
