When Will Radio Die?

    Answer me this: Why does Radio suck?. I listen to one program on the CBC before I go to bed each night. Been listening to it since the fall- and now they decide to move the program to Sirius Satellite Radio. There basic subscription service is $12.95. And that's in the USA. I don't even want to know what it is here in Canad

a. And would I dish out that amount of Cash- a month for a single radio station? Heck no. But this raises an important question. Why does gold old terrestrial radio suck? In the past few years, I have listened less and less to the radio then I normally do. And that's saying something. Normally, I would only listen to radio when I was in the kitchen or the car or something. We lack a good CD player in the Car or the kitchen so radio is the only form of entertainment. I enjoy listening to some of the talk shows and the news- but I really don't like the music stations. All they play is rap crap (and I do emphasize that word CRAP.) There's no good music on the raido these days. That combined with the fact that people are getting more and into personal meda. Podcasts provide this. Instead of waiting and waiting and waiting on the radio for that one song or lugging around CD' and a bulky Discman, you have your iPod or your Mp3 player that holds only the songs that you want it to hold. Nothing more, nothing less. And that's the death of radio. Radio is dead, except for the talk shows and the news. And even those are sketchy. What will happen in 10 years? Will we have Wifi all over the place that will update us on the lastest news and let us stream stuff while we wanter about town? That's looking to be an increased possibility. With the possibility of Gigabit or even 100 Gigabit eithernet and High-Speed wireless netowrks, Radio's death looks to be only a matter of time.
