At 4:45 in the morning, before the salespeople arrive and the phones start ringing, a radio station still belongs to the machines. Nick Carvello loves it that way.
When a sharp deal-maker named Reed Callan offers him the chance to build something from scratch - his sound, his talent, his call - Nick says yes. What follows is the story of a company that works until it doesn't, built by people who believe in it until believing costs more than they can pay.
Dead Air moves through the world of regional radio with the authority of someone who has lived inside it: the morning host whose talent is inseparable from his destruction, the sales executive who outworks every man in the room, the accountant who sees the disaster coming before anyone else will admit it, and two partners who discover, too late, that they were never building the same thing.
