Public Radio Exchange Site Launches

Posted by simoniker on from the punk-in-drublic dept.

TheSync writes "The Public Radio Exchange web site has opened its doors. Radio show producers can sign up to upload programming for peer-review and electronic distribution to public radio stations that like the content. Avid listeners can sign up (for free) to listen and review potential programming. PRX just received a $1.5 million grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and they are looking for a summer intern in Boston."

    . . . if this will use a DRM laden, proprietary format like NPR does. Am I the only one that sees something wrong with donation and tax-subsidized radio being locked up in these sorts of formats?

    and I can get through ClearChannel's "indecency measures."

    Please don't be confused. As much as I despise ClearChannel and what they have done to radio it isn't ALL good 'ol Red's fault.

    Remember what government agency that shouldn't have power over "decency" does and what they made CC do.

  3. Online Radio Content? by fastdecade · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A bit OT, but are there any indexes or search engines for online radio content?

    Seems to me online radio once had a lot of potential, maybe still does, but has gone nowhere in the past few years. I thought it would pick up with every man and his dog carrying an MP3 player, but apparently not.
