Radio 2008: The
State of the Medium (Zurich)
Radio, as we know it, is in for major changes in the future. New methods of delivering programming
to listeners can bypass local
stations. HD and Satellite radio
offer multiple channels and CD quality audio, and what about webcasting and
cell phones? Remember what FM did
to AM? This time, the changes will
be greater and more rapid. Where
is it all going, and what will it mean for your station?
