Dick Kozacko • Kozacko Media Services
This interview was conducted by Sandi Bergman
Sandi: What did you do before becoming a media broker?
Kozacko: I’m probably one of the few Media Brokers who does not have a broadcasting background. My background is acquisition management and market research for companies. I was doing analysis of companies or products to be acquired by another business firm. But, I always had a strong interest in broadcasting even though not working in the field. My thesis for my MBA at Boston College was analysis of radio networks and I predicted the end for the ABC network (as the weakest). Well, I was wrong on that result but this was at the time just before ABC was actually split into four radio networks. So, I was right in a way and ABC management made some significant changes.
