Broadcast leader and investor Randy Michaels is again taking the Forecast stage for “The Real Street Talk” about buying and selling physical broadcast property, balancing legacy media investments with digital innovation.
“Prospects for Broadcast Media as an Investment in 2025” promises a candid examination of broadcast media’s future as a viable investment. Moderated by Radioactive, LLC owner and former Jacor executive Randy Michaels, the discussion is set to tackle both the strengths and challenges facing the broadcast industry, exploring reasons why investors shouldn’t overlook traditional media.
Panelists include El Dorado Capital founder and CEO Tom Castro; CometPartners Principal Jeff Haley, who has previously held executive roles with Cox Media Group and the RAB; and Kozacko Media Services founder Dick Kozacko.

Randy Michaels told Radio Ink sister publication RBR+TVBR, “Broadcasting remains ubiquitous. There is no other way to reach people everywhere that involves so little capital. The costs are fairly low and the maintenance capital fairly low. In every other business, the cost of goods is high and the capital requirements are relatively high. And, everyone has a radio or a smart speaker that gets a radio station. With a right business plan and the right product, there are opportunities.”
Dick Kozacko added, “The industry has had a number of challenges over the last couple of years, but Forecast 2025 offers a great opportunity to recognize some of the positive changes. If there is anything favorable in the marketplace and any points of optimism, I hope something can come out of this conference and can show that Radio and Television can still be a successful and profitable investment.”
