Terrestrial Radio sucks per Ken Levine

If you can hear the station, the meter can't.

That should be "if you can hear the station, the meter can". If you can't hear it, neither can the meter. The meter is made to imitate the limits of human hearing, while at the same time being sensitive enough to detect listening even if inside a purse or jacket...

I assumed that is what you were saying. ;D

Deregulation is a key ingredient in all of this.

Radio was truly great when there were rules.

Sorry Mr. Reagan, but self-policing and free market places generally don't work without rules.

The industry and especially their lobbyists have no one to blame but themselves.

Mr. Levine makes some excellent points.

Deregulation is a key ingredient in all of this <-- Agree

However it's not the single cause. Technology has and will continue to play a big role in it's demise but as others have mentioned, there are still challenges that exist with Internet Radio, Pandora, etc... Until all the old farts have passed on, it will still be an active entertainment medium.

Internet is coming on like a hurricane. It's the only way everyone can have what they want. The difference between terrestrial media and the Internet is the difference between Niagra Falls and Death Valley.

Interesting analogy.

I tend to agree. Terrestrial radio wont die tomorrow, it will continue to play a role in our lives for some years to come. How many years? I have no idea.
