This month the AMA is changing the name of its three year old radio program from Marketing Matters Live to Marketing News Radio. (I have to admit, the name similarity to one of the best situational comedies on TV in the last decade is not lost on me.)

For the past three years I've hosted hundreds of shows, talked to amazing gurus, authors, and have learned a ton. What I am most excited about as Marketing Matters transforms to Marketing News is that, really, nothing is changing. The show will continue to bring in thought leaders, practical authors, and cover the latest in topics.

Some of my favorite shows these past years were the ones where you have called in. I know it's hard as a marketer to find time during the middle of the week - the middle of the day - to listen live to an Internet radio show. But I admit that when you all call in, those shows take on a new life and tremendous insights, practical insights, are brought into the fold.

Thanks for listening. Thanks for making this a wildly popular program. Thanks for being a part of the marketing profession and for working hard to do good work. I look forward to more years as host of Marketing News Radio and can't wait to open those lines for your calls again!
