Key Takeaways

• Role Comparison: Your on-air Program Director oversees everything from playlists to personalities. A Digital Content Director applies the same strategy online—ensuring brand consistency, content scheduling, and audience engagement across your station’s website and digital platforms.
• Common Roadblock: Station websites often fall short due to undefined goals. Without clear objectives—like driving newsletter sign-ups or boosting ad revenue—online initiatives stall.
• Content Strategy: A Digital Content Director plans a content calendar, coordinates with sales for new revenue opportunities, and monitors KPIs (page views, contest entries, etc.) to keep improving online performance.
• Getting Started: Elevate your website beyond a basic stream link. By giving your digital presence the same attention as your on-air content, you’ll engage listeners more deeply, grow revenue, and future-proof your station.

Action Items

• Evaluate your current website goals.
• Create a simple content calendar for regular updates.
• Review potential digital sponsorships or ad placements with your sales team.
• Track results (page views, email sign-ups) and refine your approach regularly.
