It’s a bright future for online radio but why?
It’s a bright future for online radio but why?
Competition is fierce for online radio stations at the moment. They seem to pop up and disappear every few moments. Trying to feed the family from working in online radio is hard. It’s tough enough working in commercial stations.
Think about this, clever online radio stations are being found on not just one website but many URLs. Hold on a minute, wouldn’t being on lots of websites be expensive?
Not really, how about working with an organization where you can both help each other out?Let’s look at this example – a book publisher of puzzles. They, like your station, would be keen to bring in more revenue. So how about mentioning both your services on each other mediums? It does not have to cost anything to do and can double your audience size straightaway.
It would also make the online radio station stand out because they have unique content. There’s lots of potential working with magazine publishers. If you found a magazine about horses, you could tailor your show around an equine theme.
If you are worried about magazines not being interested, how about saying that you are doing a show which covers the areas that they are also write about. You could ask about sharing content and linking to each other’s sites.
Overtime, you might be able to both offer advertising packages to the same advertisers. It’s a win, win situation for everyone.
The future is bright for online radio but station managers need to act like internet marketing people.
Â
So this newest internet stations can also tap into other organisations that may need to “to get their message out there”. You could, for instance, produce programmes for the aircraft industry. You could approach airlines and ask if you could use their editorial messages. This could include tips for checking in. When the show is established, you could ask them to link to your online radio station’s website. This could even produce a steady revenue stream from advertisers wanting to target a particular niche area.
These are exciting times for online radio. The clever stations work alongside existing companies and brands.

The Future of Reputation: Gossip, Rumor, and Privacy on the Internet
October 23, 2008 Speaker: Daniel J. Solove, Associate Professor, George Washington University Law School Presented by: the Center for Law, Technology, and the Arts Summary: Distinguished Lecture in Law and Technology What information about you is available on the Internet? What if its wrong, humiliating, or true but regrettable? Will it ever go away? Teeming with chatrooms, online discussion groups, and blogs, the Internet offers previously unimagined opportunities for personal expression and communication. But theres a dark side to the story. A trail of information fragments about us is forever preserved on the Internet: a chronicle of our private lives—often of dubious reliability and sometimes totally false—instantly accessible to friends, strangers, dates, employers, neighbors, relatives, and anyone else who cares to look. Focusing on blogs, Internet communities, cyber mobs, and other current trends, Professor Solove will explore the profound implications of the online collision between free speech and privacy as he offers a fascinating account of how the Internet is transforming gossip, the way we shame others, and our ability to protect our own reputations. Longstanding notions of privacy need review, and unless we establish a balance among privacy, free speech, and anonymity, we may discover that the freedom of the Internet makes us less free. The Wall Street Journal describes Daniel J. Solove as one of the few [who] truly understands the intersection of law and …

Beyond Oil: Powering the Future
Transportation consumes 70 percent of the oil used in our country. But as worldwide demand for oil soars and supplies tighten, how will we keep transportation moving? Miles P. Drake of Weyerhaeuser, one of the world’s largest pulp and paper companies, and professor Daniel Schwartz of the College of Engineering at the University of Washington discuss how current and emerging technologies can quickly convert a wide range of plant matter to transportation biofuels, offering a partial solution and contributing to an increasingly diversified and “greener” energy future.

The Wave of the Future, Digital Radio is Here to Stay
Digital radio has struggled to make it’s place in the market. Most of the United States does not yet own a digital or satillite radio and the reasons are clear. The digital radio recievers are not only expensive at the present time, but you must also subscribe to one of the services available for a monthly fee. This monthly fee is more of a deterant than the high prices on the satllite radio receivers. Many stores that sell digital radio receivers are putting up many promotions in the form of discounts and rebates to try to entice the customer into buying.
I personlly feel that digital radio receivers will follow the same path that most electronics follow. In the beginning the price point will be high and as technology improves and mass manufaturing processes are improved, then the costs will come down significantly. We have seen this trend in the past on items such as televisions, VCRs, telephones, stero equipment to name but a few.
Digital radio stations have thousands more options to offer the listener than regular old AM and FM analog radio stations. There is the quality issue. Gone are the days in which the radio quality would fluctuate based on whether or not you were driving under an overpass or passing by power lines. Through digital, there is relatively no disturbance from any outside sources which could disrupt your listening experience. This is one of the biggest pluses to digital radio. Also, there is no need for the guessing game when you hear a track you like and the disk jockey simply neglects to mention the name of it. With digital radio stations and an invention called “radiotext,†listeners will be able to read the name of the artist and title of the track right on their radio receiver as the song is playing. Radio stations will also be able to transmit information about the news, weather and traffic directly into text form on your radio receiver. I like these options very much.
Any station that currently says it is totally digital is lying. They are simply a hybrid of analog and digital where the radio receiver first picks up the analog signal and then homes in on the digital signal for a better quality broadcast. The possibilities do not end there though, as it may even be possible for digital stations to broadcast pictures and videos directly to your car or home stereo through the magic of digital broadcasting.
Although terrestrial digital radio stations are at least ten years off, there is a way to experience some of the benefits of digital radio stations today. Satellite radio, brought to you in America by XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio offer the closest thing to full digital radio. They provide the listener with high quality sound and radiotext to let people see what they are listening too.

Free Music No Longer? the Future of Music
There are two truths that we have been faced within in the present day of digitalization. The first is that the love of music is a life-long pursuit. The second is that the love of free music is not.
With the age of Napster, the ability to download music, and to do this for free, was like a godsend from heaven. Suddenly, we had all the music we could ever want at the touch of a button. The problem however was that the music industry started losing money (which no one really cares about), and then the bigger problem (which we all cared about), that downloading music for free became illegal.
So Napster fell under, and the age of free music was lost forever. No big deal, although it was nice while it lasted. Still, the impact this change has left upon music and moreover upon the music industry, it seems, will have longstanding consequences. Formerly spoiled by the high prices for CDs, the music industry is slowly being forced to offer music at more competitive prices. Although you can’t get free downloads anymore, at least not legally, you can get music at a much cheaper price, and even make your own music with such new developments as free music software, through the blessings of advertising.
Most people dislike big business houses, at least, if they are not a part of it, and this definitely includes the music industry. So when we now hear the industry complaining that it is losing money or in some instances that it may be forced to change its methods or shut down, we tend to face such comments either with apathy or antipathy. Who really needs the music industry? The average musician has to pay tons of money just to get into a recording studio, and less than 5% of musicians tend to profit from their music anyhow. So who’s making all the money?
The fact of the matter is that no matter how rich or poor people are, they are going to continue making music, simply because they love to make music – the first truth. One only needs to look at such examples as the blues which came out of impoverished New Orleans back in the 1940’s following the Great Depression, or the newly ‘discovered’ music in Cuba, portrayed in the Buena Vista Social Club. Certainly those guys weren’t expecting large royalties throughout their lives, nor could they have ever dreamed that they would actually get the chance to play in Carnegie Hall. Many of them died before the money even came even, but that didn’t stop them from making music.
So as both technology and the times change, the music industry needs to change with it, and as far as I’m concerned such a change would be for the better, even if it means that musicians of the future will be limited to home recording studios. Most musicians probably have some kind of computer driven studio anyhow, and the fact that we’re not hearing their music isn’t a fault of bad music, but of the obsessive manner in which the music industry still wields control over what we are able to listen to. So with the coming of the new age, hopefully we hear more music, less commercialized, and at prices that we’re all happy with, including the lone musician.

Live Internet Radio – the Future of Radio
Right after the introduction of the Internet, we have come across many electronic counterparts in our day to day lives. It has changed the way of our communication is made, whether it be sharing of information, marketing or infotainment. It has introduced the age of e-mail, e-commerce, e-shopping, internet radio and internet TV.
Live Internet radio is one of the latest trends in cyberspace. Talks pertaining to e-radio is very common these days. Perhaps, e-radio is the next most sought after thing in the cyberspace right after the e-mail, and e-commerce. In fact, e-radio is not that a new thing, it has been in existence for quite some time now. But, it is only of late that it has flourished and it has improved radio connectivity tremendously. As such, listeners are flooded with live radio stations, which have exhaustive range of channels. These channels cater to the varied needs of the listeners.
Definitely, the Internet radio talk is one of the most striking programmes. Streaming talk shows and discussions on a variety of lively topics have become very popular among the listeners. Such programmes are being fed by the live radio stations host talks shows even with experts of various subjects.
It has been found that the traditional radio broadcasters have been using the live Internet radio to promote their programmes or advertise them. Whereas, the e-radio technology has brought about a sea change in the way of presentation of the radio programmes. Because of its contribution today individuals can host their own talk shows from the comfort of their home.
This radio technology includes different methods for creating the audio stream source. It uses the SHOUT cast service that makes use of Winamp and SHOUT cast DSP plugin to deliver MP3 audio. This method also uses open source technologies like the Stream cast, stream db, IceS, and Muse., patent free data formats like Ogg Vorbis as well.
There is no shortage of radio networks online these days. The services offered by live Internet radio are really marvellous. Voice America is an Internet radio network that helps host ones own internet radio talk show. Moreover, it also gives the complete package of Internet streaming, media broadcasting, support services on line, marketing and Internet solutions that help make a mark on the on line audience.

Satellite Radio: The Waves Of The Future?
Satellite Radio Its here! Satellite radio is a new service being offered by two companies, XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio. Both companies are offering over 100 channels of streaming music and entertainment. High quality sound is achieved through the use of satellites orbiting high above. Satellite radio is commercial free and free from regulations by federal committees. The impossible, is now possible, hearing the same radio station across North America and from coast to coast. All made possible by XM satellite radio and Sirius satellite radio.
Normal radio has been around for decades and is part of many people’s lifestyle. This is changing. Regular radio is monitored and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, whom has fined several radio stations and media companies within the last 3-4 years. The FCC has only fined radio stations a maximum of $27,500 per show no matter how man profanities were aired. Recently the FCC has been upping the ante and in conjunction with Congress has decided to raise the fine up to $500,000 per incident per station (Potter). A slap on the wrist has turned into a business-changing event. Sexually explicit comments by Bubba the Love Sponge and Howard Stern could get a station in trouble no doubt about it.
Clear Channel Radio dropped both shock jocks this year after being hit with record fines. (Potter) Recently Howard Stern has made a move to Sirius Satellite wireless in an effort to preserve his career and free speech. Consumers are reaching towards satellite radio as a way to hear unregulated news and content. Recently XM Satellite wireless has claimed to have over 3 million subscribers paying $9.99 per month and Sirius claims to have over 1.3 million customers paying $12.95 per month. Many of those customers pay an additional $2.99 per month for premium content such as the upcoming Howard Stern Show.
Several normal wireless stations and media outlets are realizing the potential to get their message across in a broad fashion. XM has launched a morning show, which is hosted by Bob Edwards, whom was fired earlier this year by National Public Radio. “The Bob Edwards Show” will air on a public satellite wireless channel that also features news and programs from Public wireless International, among others. Sirius has its own public wireless channel carrying NPR programs. Consumers and companies are demanding free speech and it seems that satellite wireless is the vehicle.
XM Satellite wireless and Sirius Satellite wireless have designed satellite broadcast systems that differ but they achieve the same high quality of satellite wireless. A milestone of this success is the fact that satellite wireless signals that are available across the United States and into Mexico and Canada. Rock and Roll No it’s not a genre any more! XM Satellite wireless has two satellites named Rock and Roll, which remain in parallel geostationary orbit to provide wireless coverage throughout the United States. Sirius Satellite wireless has chose to use three satellites in an inclined elliptical orbit. This configuration provides 16 hours per satellite of signal, which gives a great redundancy if any satellite were to fail. Playing it smart, Sirius and XM both have spare satellites, which can be called on in a moments notice if needed.
XM satellite wireless and Sirius satellite wireless have Earth based broadcast stations that are used to send up information to the satellites, which is then dispersed through out the globe. Sirius and XM both have disk jockeys that manage, create and program music which is then sent up to the satellites. The information is then taken in by the satellites and sent through a rebroadcast of the streams to earth.
The Major advantage of this is that, unlike earth-based wireless stations whose signals reach listeners 150 miles away, satellite wireless signals have a huge reach, and are receivable anywhere within the continental United States and hundreds of miles in each direction of the borders. Satellite wireless is growing to become a worldwide network and offerings are growing throughout the world. XM satellite radio and Sirius satellite radio are making it happen.
Unregulated Satellite Radio is the answer for free speech in a government regulated airwaves arena. Not only can listeners hear unbiased information but also they can listen to it anywhere in the United States. Media giants are jumping to get the piece of the pie regarding satellite radio, as the new wave of the future is satellite radio.
