The 2009 Product Source
The design of this year's Product Source gives me a renewed energy every time I look at it. Every year this supplement to Radio magazine takes a lot out of our staff; from selecting products to design to editing and making sure we have everything we're supposed to, it is a giant undertaking. Unlike the design this year, a spattering of random haphazard colors, this is anything but thrown together.

The energy I see exuded by the Product Source this year hopefully symbolizes a new beginning for broadcast manufacturers, and consequently for you, the reader. It's been a tough year for everyone, but some companies are forging ahead strong with renewed energy and really great products.

Look out for our 2009 Radio Pick Hit winners splattered throughout this publication. They represent the best this past year had to offer. We look forward eagerly to what next year will bring.

In the meantime, there were still plenty of products released in the past year. We hope we have brought together items that will make your job easier, more efficient, that you will take pride in what you do (because we sure do!) and you will have a renewed energy for the coming year.
