The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Adrian McCoy wrote on Sunday about how the world of radio has taken a few spins on its noggin in recent times, for two major reasons: satellite radio and iPod (really, all digital music players). That’s not to say that terrestrial radio owners are packing up and heading home, though.
But satellite and Internet have a long way to go before they can compete with the audience numbers that commercial radio can sell advertisers.
But what might be interesting to gauge is the vociferousness of those who have adopted satellite radio or digital music as their primary (and secondary) forms of audio entertainment. I dare say that the “supporters” of the new technologies would do so at a much higher decibel level than those of regular radio.
