Like digital terrestrial TV did for us.Now, you can sell commercials to multiple "channels". More sales = more revenue!Nevermind the fact that radio is dying. I work on multiple job sites and ONE person uses a radio. He only listens to extreme right wing conservative talk shows.Not one other person, out of the multiple job sites spread across the state use a radio. The stream off their phones. I admit, I do the same thing. 15 bucks a month and I don't have to listen to a single commercial. When I don't have signal on the phone I can still listen to the music I've marked for offline listening.As the radio listening public ages and dies, less and less people will want to even listen to AM radio. It's a dying demographic.Wonder what happened to the buggy whip manufacturers years ago?--ShaneKD6VXI"He only listens to extreme right wing conservative talk shows."can uou name just ONE??Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage....You won't hear how most Americans really feel watching The View.
