Why (FM, Not XM) Radio Sucks

Posted by timothy on Sunday January 19, 2003 @02:34PM from the what-mercantilism-sounds-like dept.

wemmick writes "The Washington Post has an article "Can XM Put Radio Back Together Again?" which discusses the history of marketing FM radio, how XM could be different, and about Lee Abrams -- "the man who shackled FM radio to the tyranny of mass market research" and is now program director for XM."

If you're interested, you can listen in online at CBC Radio [www.cbc.ca] (Radio One or Radio Two) or BBC [bbc.co.uk] (1,2,3,4, etc., etc.) and find out what radio that isn't tied by umbilical cord to Big Business can be.
Monty Python and Benny Hill reruns? Oh, let's not forget that unbiased British news (wink wink). If it's anti-American, you'll find it on the BBC. hehe. No thanks, if I'm going to listen to propaganda I'll stick with Fox News.
