Re: Saturday, October 4, 2003
Yeah...that's kinda what I was getting at. The satellite radio model is much more listener (I know how you hate the word "consumer") friendly. Web radio takes that concept even further, but obviously there are some different hurdles. Satellite radio has the "old guard" freaked because to them it appears as a much more immediate threat to what they are doing. Hence all the lawsuits barring local repeaters from also broadcasting local content. And the reason why most on-air talent are barred from even discussing sat radio. The radio folks don't see Web radio as taking away customers, just taking away consumers that don't have "real" value to them. The whole stream-on/stream-off episode of a few years ago made them even more techno-phobic than they already are. One thing I will say is that using Web radio could be a great alternative...but it is very difficult to find out basic how-to's...unless I'm just not searching in the right places.
