I just updated the description of this Website’s purpose. I started out thinking this would be just a site about U.S. broadcast radio, which is where I started my so-called career. I’ve decided it ought to be a little broader, since, for one thing, “radio” isn’t a closed system anymore. Used to be you had to get a license from the U.S. FCC to be a radio broadcaster. Now you can just buy a computer and get connected to the Internet and, poof, you’re on the radio. In a time of disruptive digital media technologies, licensed steel-tower radio is looking like a shrinking world. In only a few years, the media world has opened wide and radio, already marginalized by television, now seems even narrower. The U.S. industry’s short-sightedness and its preoccupation with consolidating ownership and taking “real estate” profits has set its already stunted creativity even further back in the pack. HD Radio? Don’t make me laugh. Anyway, I’m broadening the world of this site, because not much new is happening in U.S. radio. Now I’ve got more to write about besides my disappointment and disgust with the state of radio in America.
