Internet Radio – The Ultimate in Personal Listening
Only a few short years ago it would have been inconceivable that there would be as many radio listening options as there are today. It isn’t just the integration of the computer into our lives, and the logical extension of using those computers as an entertainment option, but rather the sheer volume and choices in streaming radio that have become available. Whatever your taste in music or spoken word, there is an internet radio station that caters to that taste. These days it doesn’t matter if your musical development stopped at the Grateful Dead, or that you “live’ for talk shows that discuss UFOs, you will likely not find one, but many online stations that program that 24/7.
Several years ago the futurist Faith popcorn talked about the trend toward “cocooning” – building an individual, comfortable space around each individual. She may as well have been talking about internet radio as that is precisely what this art form has become.
The holy grail of internet radio is profitability, and very few stations or station clusters have achieved it. To a great extent this has helped online radio gain a stronger foothold than it might have otherwise, as it has helped define that medium. That is, internet radio is virtually commercial-free. That means that those stations doing it that are not connected with a commercial broadcast station are doing it for ego, and the love of producing a program that is different than what is available through AM and FM stations.
