    Radio Is Doomed - Tear Down the Broadcast Towers [view article]
    It occurs to me that this could also be the beginning of the end for horrible tripe like B Spears et al. If listener choice is blown open by new technology and Terrestrial Radio is no longer in control of what gets played, perhaps some GOOD music might actually make it's way back into society. I suppose MTV will still be churning out the crapola, but who watches MTV? Reply

    You gotta be kidding....and tell me, how long are those batteries going to last while you listen to streaming radio all day?

    Or do you like that tether to your 12v outlet? And how long is that cord...you know, for when you're at the beach or in the park?     Reply

    Part of the hold-up on the Sirius merger is the lobbying influence of RIAA and NAB (terrestial radio). The former long ago exacted a very favorable royalty (none) deal; RIAA has been heavy handed in collecting from sattelite and internet radio as well as file sharing teenagers. I subscribe to Sirius, and donate to local college radio and the local NPR. Both are superior in content and free of commercials and lowest common demoninator programming. Terrestial radio is a failing format. We do need to compensate artists equitably, however. Reply

    Terrestrial Radio is unlistenable garbage. But boy do they have lobbiest. They screwed XM and SIRI over with delaying tactics and will kill the best thing that ever happened for the listening public: uncensored, commercial free airing that I am MORE then willing to pay for because it is exactly what I want! You can keep your reruns of constant vacationing Howard "hoo hoo" Stern by the way. I'll stick to the real working men of "Shock" humor XM's Opie and Anthony (with 'lil Jimmy Norton). Free Speech...yeah ya gotta pay for it now folks! Reply

    Pandora won't last as a free or commercial free entitiy for you to have access to.

    You'll either have to pay for it or listen to comnmercials. Not bad if it's a radio station you like I guess.

    Watch for a merged SAT RAD to offer all of this. Access to down loads) indeed, using free downloads to enhance certain subscription tiers; and also allowing for pandora type access on certain channels that users set for themselves.

    In addition you'll get all the sat radio tier you subscribe to. You'll get a constant signal - nationwide. And it will scale to different hardware and platforms.

    That is the niche you want to be in.     Reply

    I spend more time channel surfing the air waves in my car trying to find some decent tunes for the drive around Northern Cali. Traversing from Solano county to the Bay Area and even down to Monterey Bay pretty much yields various radio stations with the same 10 minutes of commercials and very little music or decent talk radio. I'm waiting for the better Sat Radio deals after the merger. Better content, less carp whatever your listening pleasures are.

    Internet radio... not bad if you're at home and don't mind the quality. I could imagine internet radio sites in programmable settings (when parked) on in-car radios as a means to navigate to your desired music choice as you drive. df

    The other killer coming soon - internet in the car. If we could get a constant signal in the car and could then tune to internet based radio. Shut out the lights, AM/FM. The only thing they'll have left is a few special local programs and things like Limbaugh.
    The NAB needs to take the money and energy to improving their own product - not lobbying against the tidal wave of Sat Radio and other technologies.

    DUUUDE- "low brow broadcast like howard stern?". you are kidding right? let me guess, you are a oxycotin induced limbaugh fan? any way you slice it, terrestrial radio is on the way out. even talk radio is worthless with the way the commercials chop up an otherwise decent Adam Corolla show. advertising in its current state is old news. hello DVR & satelite radio!!!

    All I know is other than talk radio, terrestrial radio has definitely lost its way. Reply

    Why would anyone listen to a guy that would pay money to listen to a low-brow broadcast like Howard Stern? Reply

    Not so fast. The quality on the iPhone radio is tinny at best. I thought I would use it and drop my XM, but the sound is not up to par. More like AM in the 60's. Reply
