It seems like the internet is more of a threat to the radio industry than the net is to theatres, yet both face similar trouble with standards & obligations.
I'm an XM subscriber & the friend I live with has Sirius, both are great services. XM had some compression issues after its startup. From what I read on the XM forums, it was due to all the new channels they added at once, but it's recovered and still beats the hell out of FM. A former assistant manager I worked with at Lakeville was part of XM's Minneapolis traffic report launch. She would email reports during drive time on some timed basis.
If I had started school a semester earlier, I would have had the opportunity to work for 89.3 FM, Minnesota NPR's newer music station. They are member-supported music from all genres, uncut with many rare recordings, NPR music programs & commentary from jocks that are more inviting & sponsor-friendly than any of the other shit on air in town. Naturally, they were warmly received in a place like Minneapolis & have seen great promotional success. Aside from that station, the others either play off the fact that they're not Clear Channel to drive ratings, or they're a CC station & they use all those billboards around town to show it.
Quote Hunter S. Thompson: "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
