Default Radio is Dead

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/7/30933.html

Saying that companies can buy any radio station they want, unlimited control. So AOL can buy every station in LA and OC and play only the AOL/Time Warner station, and were they to do such a thing it would be legal.

That means that you can have one broadcast going over 10 different stations. So slowly other stations are forced to sell out to the giant conglomerate stations. Imagine KIIS being played on 15 different stations.


Hmm... I think I will just post that as news now.

and just FYI, as in KIIS I dont mean the band, I mean the poppy radio station.

Yup, me too. As far as I am concerned, the commercials killed the radio. Then the terrible DJs killed the radio again. (Two deaths)
