[LISTEN] WFAN’s Craig Carton Scoops Interview With Ray Rice

Says He's Very Remorseful

As it turns out, both are alums of New Rochelle High School in Westchester County and he spoke at length with the embattled running and relayed details details on Wednesday’s “Boomer &Carton” show. “He’s miserable. He’s embarrassed,” Carton said. “He recognizes that this has now stained who he is as a man. That this is now who he is — this is the impression everybody will have of him other than family members and people closest to him. And he is dedicated to righting that wrong as best he can.” Meanwhile, Janay Rice stood by her husband in a statement Tuesday on Instagram, criticizing the media for making her relive a “nightmare” and taking away Ray Rice’s livelihood. “He is very much in love with his wife,” Carton said of Rice. “They are very much together. They have gone to counseling. He is in this pretrial intervention program. … He’s most likely moving out of Maryland, selling his house. “And I asked him about playing football, and he goes, ‘It’s not on my mind right now.’ What’s on his mind is trying to repair the damage and making sure that people (know) that he is better, his relationship is better — they have a beautiful daughter together — and that’s what his focus is on right now.” Ray is very remorseful, takes full ownership of it and recognizes that this is now what people will think about him. And he has to do a lot of work to try to change that. Because he’d like people to know that’s not who Ray Rice is.” LISTEN HERE

NAB/RAB Chiefs Address Radio Show

THE MOUTH, SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2014 –– Gordon Smith, president and CEO of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), welcomed attendees to this week's radio show in Indianapolis. Marking his fifth year in command he said, 'These past five years have been an incredible privilege for me…it is an honor making sure policymakers and the rest of America truly understand the many ways you give back.' Pointing out some of the challenges back in Washington, D.C. that could impact the ability to serve local communities, he spoke of educating congress on new performance tax, which would harm radio stations and put local jobs at risk. "As you well know, this is about artists and record labels insisting we pay them for the airplay they eagerly ask us to play,' said Smith. "Though we’ve been successful thus far, it doesn’t mean we can let down our guard." As for the future, Smith added, "Despite all the competition for consumers’ attention – from the Internet, personal listening devices… and other emerging technologies… radio’s brightest days are ahead." RAB president/CEO Erica Farber opened with what called 'a love story.' 'There was a period a few years ago -- let's call it the Dark Times -- when people enjoyed heralding the death of radio. The world is all new, they cried, and radio is an old medium. PowerPoint decks featured numerous pictures of 1950s families sitting around a giant wireless -- remember the old Sylvanias -- tuning into the Lone Ranger while wearing suits and dresses and hats inside the house. Even the children. Those of us who loved radio were worried. Was our old flame losing its luster? Would we be able to keep the magic alive? Fortunately, it turned out the reports of our death were slightly exaggerated, because we were not alone in our affection for radio. In fact, far from it. People love radio. They loved it in the 50s and they love it now.' She then turned her attention to digital radio saying 'It's the best game in town. It's our fastest growing revenue sector: $889 million dollars last year, and up 12% for the first half of this year.' She added, 'While we all know that digital is radio's new frontier, we have some work to do."
