Vista Radio President Bryan Edwards talks pending Bell acquisition

Vista Radio President Bryan Edwards joins Broadcast Dialogue to talk about why its pending acquisition of 21 Bell Media radio stations is a good news story for radio, his thoughts on the current regulatory landscape, and more.

Bell is undertaking its largest restructuring initiative in 30 years, announcing it’s reducing its workforce by 4,800 positions and selling 45 of its 103 radio stations, pending CRTC approval.

Seven independent buyers, including Vista Radio, are poised to acquire those divested radio properties.

Vista President Bryan Edwards joins us on this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast to talk about why this is a good news story for radio, why Vista plans to retain and grow the staff count at those stations, his thoughts on the current regulatory landscape, and more.
