I feel like the Internet has really freed everything up to an extent, hasn't it? That radio maybe doesn't have quite the power that it had before.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've had so many people tell me that they are shocked that AM radio still even exists with all the different listening options.
Whenever there's a new form of media, we always think it's going to replace the old thing, and it never does. We still have radio, however long after TV was introduced.
Talk radio has made an enormous run around establishment media. But the Internet is making an end run around talk radio. Suddenly we're faced with an information age.
Every time a new technology comes along, we feel we're about to break through to a place where we will not be able to recover. The advent of broadcast radio confused people. It delighted people, of course, but it also changed the world.
Radio as we know it is pretty much changing completely.
It would be nice to have radio support, not that we've ever had that much trouble with it.
I think we're going to have to forget about the radio and just go back to word of mouth.
There are major advantages to remaining out of the radio for a long time before we have something that crosses into the mainstream properly.
For years everyone looked toward the demise of radio when television came along. Before that, they thought talking movies might eliminate radio as well. But radio just keeps getting stronger.
Radio killed variety and TV killed radio, and the internet will kill television and it will go on and on.
