The future of RadioThe future of Radio

Over recent years radio audiences have been presented with a wider choice of stations and programmes than ever before, and are using other devices to access these. No longer do you need the ‘radio box’ sitting on the sideboard.

According to www.emarketer.com, terrestrial radio is in trouble financially and many of the largest national braodcasters are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Internet radio stations can take advantage of this

ZenithOptimedia reports that in 2009, advertisers will spend $260 million on Internet radio and another $28 million on podcasting.
