Several years ago if one were to ask my opinion on it, I would have said I'd never pay for 'radio'.

And podcasts *waves*

I'm thinking of moving to digital DAB radio here in the UK, ironically the pirates are swarming around the stations I listen to, causing nasty interference, and a lot of the public-service channels (ie. good) are on DAB - the muso ones, the specialist black/urban station, stuff like that.

And I have actually broadcasted from a pirate satellite, well borrowed someone else's show on Sirius, Madge's show on Pod Stars. I think that online or satellite are the only ways I could ever extend my podcasting into something else where I could swear and play the music I like...DAB maybe late at night, but again they are wary of swearing.

We bought Mark a Sirius unit for his car. Unfortunately the reception here in metro phoenix is spotty at best and the ability to really get loud reception impossible. Mark gave up on it last year.

I'm not sure if people will benefit from merge (technologies etc) of will be sucked into another monopoly from hell, diluting the music scene once again
