And there was just a statistic that came out the other day saying radio
reaches 90% of the population each week. How many other mediums can say
that?
I do believe that Internet Radio is definitely not a fad and will have it's
place, but traditional AM/FM will have it's place too.
Back to the subject at hand, this is an interesting time for Google to be
selling out. They are just rolling out GRA, which is a major change from
the original two SS32 and Maestro products. I don't doubt that someone will
buy it, but who? And more importantly, with radio's capital budget
shrinking significantly for 2009, is it worth it to buy a relatively new
product (when there are great established platforms) when few are buying?
I know some of the people at Google in Dallas and hope everything works out
for them. This should be interesting, indeed.
