Internet radio station use statistics

Its a rather interesting read,but makes no mention of the overall effect of the Clear Channel purchase by Blackstone and partners.Or what effect the pending sale of four hundred forty eight stations will have on the related numbers.

After reviewing a few of the Radio web sites suggested in a article at audiographics. I just don't see anything on a single site that would motivate me to visit again, they truly are that bad.You can read the article from Ken linked here

What I would like to see from the satellite radio company's. Would be a co-owned and operated lifestyle web site, that truly caters to the listener and online user base.Its time you take the fight to the old broadcasters.
