A look at a music CEO's iPod
CustomChannels.net CEO John Bradley gave us a peek at his current playlist.
(Fortune Small Business) -- John Bradley knows radio. As the CEO of Boulder-based CustomChannels.net, he makes companies sound cool by managing their in-store playlists and creating their online music stations.
Chipotle (CMG) and Wild Oats use the service, as do broadcasters CBS Radio and Entercom (ETM).
"I love picking music. It's a great mix of art and science," says Bradley, 52, who earned his stripes by pioneering the adult alternative format at Boulder's legendary KBCO-FM.
We caught up with Bradley and got a look at his current playlist. With permission of the artists, we've linked below to streams of several of the songs.
