Internet Radio Failing to Find Support?
K Fox asks: "WOXY, one of the Internet's larger radio stations, has announced that it will soon implement a monthly subscription fee, to support operations. When the Cincinnati based station went from terrestrial broadcast 97.7 to Internet only, they vowed to keep their streams free to listers. Now, they are saying that increased broadcast taxes, falling advertising revenue, and the overall uncertainty in the market (local or global?) has pushed them to change their business model. Is this a sign of things to come for the other radio stations, that broadcast over the Internet? Will digital music distribution fall solely to giants like XM and iTunes?"
and no i'm not going to connect my computer up to the stereo becase evry time someone IM's me or I get an email or windows breaks you get horible alert noises that would drive everyone insane! Surley these problems are why these broadcasters are having problems.
You need to setup a dedicated computer in the office for that. You don't use your personal system for such things!
And stop calling me Surley!
Unless the Britons have adopted metric time by which a month is exactly one deciyear, I believe you mean £10 a month, or seven-packets-of-crisps* less than £12 a month.
* Or 10 packets of dodgy crisps that have been sitting at the newsagent for a bit too long eh
