Traditional Radio Endangered By New Tech

Rob wrote to mention a Reuters article discussing the danger to traditional radio posed by new new technologies. From the article: "The radio industry could find itself at the kids' table in the media banquet hall, as new technology threatens the business, advertising executives said this week at the Reuters Media and Advertising Summit. Satellite radio, digital music players and the Internet are slowly encroaching on traditional radio's stronghold on local entertainment and advertising. Plus, radio ads themselves are less memorable and creative, these executives said."

I want a radio station

[drewzhrodague]

It is seemingly too expensive to get one's own radio station, though I'd like to do this in my area -- in the same way that people are blogging or podcasting. There used to be Radio Carson here in Pittsburgh, which had some great (and not so great) electronic music. Now what do we have? Right-wing propoganda, 3 classic rock stations, and the usual dirth of lite-rock and wannabe-rock. Best thing going for broadcast radio is WRCT from CMU. What about a geek-propoganda radio station?
