Google To Buy Radio Advertising Firm

Posted by Zonk on from the google-in-your-ear dept.

M3rk1n_Muffl3y writes "According to the BBC Google is buying US radio advertising firm dMarc Broadcasting for an upfront payment of $102m (£58m), rising to a possible $1.14bn by 2009. Interestingly it comes soon after Robert X. Cringely's prediction that Google will soon expand into targetted TV adverts. It looks we are finally beginning to see Google's transition to mainstream media."

    I think the RIAA should stay out the telephone companies in the first place. now that yahoo has bought up all the darknets, there is little use for a traditional internet once Microsoft rolls out Net 2.0. Hollywood has been head of the movie industry too long and now that i can install Umbuto on my Treo, I won't be looking at another crappy Ipod.
