Declining growth

|
Continuing consolidation of radio and television stations will limit employment growth of broadcast announcers. In addition, over-the-air radio broadcasts will continue to face competition from an increasing number of online and satellite radio stations. More listeners are tuning in to these stations, which can be personalized, reducing the number of listeners to traditional radio broadcasts.
