Facing growing competitive pressure from the Internet, iPods and other radio operations, RadioOne had a year of retooling. It sold 10 stations in less-profitable markets — including Los Angeles, the nation's largest radio market — revamped programming in more-competitive markets and acquired other Internet, magazine and cable television properties. Its TV One cable channel is four years old and growing. The company's goals are to build its business to half radio, and half cable and online, with print wrapped in.
