I know there will always places for talkback but are stations more interested in music competing heavily with mp3 players these days? I'd like to see a graphical comparision between numbers of people listening to radio and the numbers of mp3 players sold.

i haven't listened to the radio in years. mp3's are the future.
will you stop that
fuck it
I don't think you would really come by a better radio station than Triple R.

Gold 104?
Maybe Triple R should go national?
Mix 101?
i love the radio.
Radio, plays my favourite song. Radio
RAY DEE OOOOO
yes
Its shitty fucking djs faults. In the 50s-80s, radio was an essential format for new musics, and DJs where meant to have their fingers on the pulse, to be finding upcoming bands and trends. It's what made music exciting.
Granted, Triple R and even some adelaide local stations have good shows, but by and large commercial radio sucks balls as a boring medium that deserves to be replaced by mp3 blogs and such.
most people listening to commercial radio don't care enough about music to be trawling mp3 blogs for it, they just want some shit to listen to at work/on the ride home
also radio rules and i don't see it becoming redundant. sometimes i get sick of my mp3s and want to hear someone elses,
radio rules my life
i think it will become stronger as tv is becoming redundant
i listen to the radio more now than i have in the last ten years. it keeps you young and in love with the world. crotchety old fucks who are happy to let their minds atrophy hate the radio.
raises hand slowly
i wish there were more plays on the radio
ok grandpa. back in the wardrobe!
yeah i used to love radioplays on 3d when i was younger, was really into them. Especially horror stuff.
all i know is that i dont listen to it
probably should though
but i'd only use it to hear new stuff and the internet's done a pretty good job at that, so
In general it's the programmers' fault. I hardly ever listen to the radio anymore, even RRR and PBS.
i LOVE radio. don't get much of a chance to listen to it these days though. on the train i'll be listening to the ipod.
if this thread is any indication, with a 1 year lag in activity, I'd say no to the rapidly bit.
i only listen to AM radio these days and I listen to them a lot. 3AW, 774 and the BBC world service. Those stations are going gangbusters.
most nights i'd rather listen to bruce and phil on 3AW's nightline than watch television.
plus, something like the bbc world service fills a very important role. or at least it sounds serious enough to convince me of it.
about 70% of my radio listening time i'm tuned to the bbc world news service. also that guy who does the quiz after midnight. do you listen to that quiz september?
the more stuff that's out there, the more people want/need a trusted filter. i didn't grow up with radio national, for example, but i listen to it every morning and i podcast a few of their regular programs that i never managed to get the timing right for before.
