Two deaths of creative people today, Robert Palmer and George Plimpton. Had Plimpton in Florida in 77, where we crated an Island (sunk it) in the Indian River when we exploded the worlds largest firework. Back when radio did live stuff like that.
Streaming will never take off until it's portable. If I can carry a web radio with me great. As long as your a tethered to the computer you're still nowhere.
Revisited my review of XM and it still has the same suck issues on spoken word. Sounds like a phone line feed of most of it. Sirius does not have that problem.
Sony is going to enter the DRM space shortly. DRM is digital via shortwave. The issues like skywave problems that beset US IBOC digital, and't an issue here.
You can still get great sounding AM radios, you just have to look.
