Research: Luxury or Necessity?
Thursday March 3, 2005 1:30PM
Fairmont Royal York

Radio stations are asking themselves some tough questions about research. Is my research budget adding to my bottom line --- or is it eating my profits? How do you separate the “gotta-have” from the “nice-to-know” studies? Are we doing research just so that we can say we did research --- or are we committed to using it effectively? Should you do your research in-house, use several suppliers, or lock in a long-term research partner? Our expert panel of research users and suppliers will debate the issues to help you come up with the answers.
