Reply #10: There Are And Is... [View All]

I don't want it to seem like all doom and gloom. There are some very good independent broadcasters still operating and there are and will be opportunities for more. It's just picking ones spots. It's also fighting a culture that is devouring itself...re-establishing stations as local services, including local news, sports and with it comes the advertising. It's going back to what used to work and not expecting to make huge sums of money. It's being innovative...able to use radio and internet and other mediums to reach listeners and to allow them to interact. Low power radio has been addressing some of these issues and you can find out more about this in the http://prometheusradio.org/ Prometheus Radio project.

What I see that really needs to happen is more networking between the various broadcast entities. Internet radio programers fight against conventional broadcasters fight against podcasters fight against bloggers..it's hurt the advancement of Progressive media...sadly too many chiefs an not enough indians.

Hope this has helped...
