Radio’s Global Response to COVID-19 Facebook group swapped hundreds of ideas from around the world The author is co-founder of consulting firm P1 Media Group. The year 2020 was like no other, a year we’d all rather forget. Coronavirus turned our world upside down. But rather than dwelling on how COVID-19 decimated radio listening, revenue and personnel, we want to close out the year by sharing some of the amazing and extraordinary ways radio worldwide responded to the pandemic. In mid-March when the lockdowns began, P1 Media Group felt compelled to do something, someway, somehow, to help radio. We knew there was no programming playbook for COVID-19, yet listeners all around the world were depending on us to keep them informed and entertained during this unimaginable time.
