"Radio broadcasters are considering technology and business models that may soon allow listeners to click, listen and buy the tunes they hear on their favorite radio stations.
Top radio conglomerate Clear Channel Communications, technology companies and burgeoning satellite radio companies are aiming to launch such services within 18 to 24 months, executives and analysts say."
EDITOR: Thanks to the work of organizations like CBI, college stations won a battle to participate in new content distribution models. With satellite radio (XM and Sirius), i-pods, and other new technology, how will college radio survive?
One answer could be 'HD' radio. But for many this option is too expensive and for others, that are not FCC licensed stations, this obstacle could be insurmountable. Where do we go from here to make sure that our stations will be able to reach an audience? Or will FM, carrier current and webcasting survive? Thoughts?
