... as dozens of traffic reporters cried out, then were silenced forever. And hundreds more took pay cuts ranging up to 15%.
Some people forget that while this is entertainment, it's also a business. And maybe DE can share current figures, I can tell you that my information (slightly stale) is that most stations are down 30-40-50% (or more). If stations are hurting that bad, it only makes sense that the traffic services are also way down.
If you ran a business and your billing was down 50% would you continue to operate the way you had before, or would you cut where you had to to survive?
And so, the Terrestrail Radio Business Model could not support quality in depth music playlists.... They went to "Subscription" Radio....
Same for Quality in depth News Reporting.....
And so.... will it shock yo to find out that quality in depth traffic reports cannot be supported by the Terrestrail Radio Business Model, and go the way of subcriber services.
So what does that leave with terrestrially Little 1..... ? ? ?
Nothing I'd be interested in......
But what do I know.....
I'm not one of the great unwaashed masses that "
Broadcasting" is trying to "entertain"..... Forget about being "informed".....
That's what Newspapers are for....
Ooooops..... Lookes like that model is failing too.......
Sorry, but they won't get enough gifts from the DPD to keep that "entertainment" going either....
