I believe in Net Radio
Long ago, I was both a dj and an exec at a campus radio station. That station just celebrated 36 years of broadcasting and moved into new studios in the new student union, which were dedicated to the founder last month.
I have a lot of pride in what we accomplished, and I think we left an important legacy which the current staff are trying hard to continue building. It's rough -- the technologies we used to broadcast are now gone, and new technologies are changing audio broadcasting faster than anyone could've imagined.
Unfortunately, big corporate lobbyists are killing Internet radio, just as big corporations are killing personality-driven "terrestrial" radio in favor of holding the airwaves hostage to automated playlists.
To find out more, and to be part of the solution, go to savenetradio.org. Call or write your legislators. Stand behind the little guys. Make your voice heard.

I'm with ya.
Net radio is the only linear-type audio content I can tolerate. Very few exceptions aside, terrestrial is worthless, satellite is only marginally better.
I think I've listened to ASF and RP more in the past year than I ever listened to FM (and that's sayin' something considering how many hours I logged as a kid.)
