The definition of
"radio" is changing so much that the concept of Internet
Radio isn't as controversial or downright crazy as it might have seemed
just a few years ago.
Consider this:
satellite radio is much more of a reality than AM/FM (terrestrial)
radio ever thought it would be. ipods and iphones have become the listening
method of choice for millions of people, younger and older.
(Both XM/Sirius satellite radio and ipods have only been around since 2001!)
Traditional radio
stations stream on the Internet, side-by-side with 100% Internet
stations, some of which are full-time and others, part-time or on
demand. Is it radio or is it a listening service? And do
listeners really care, if they're getting what they want?
Radio George,
the Internet talk radio operation I launched in March, 2006, never
really got a chance to take off, as I was offered an opportunity
that seemed too good to be true on AM talk radio. (And it turned out to be exactly that--too
good to be true!)
Fast-forward to
summer of 2007. To my surprise, a number of people in both my
personal life and the radio industry suggested I bring
Radio George back. After much thought, I came up with a
number of ideas for Radio George, and decided to concentrate
on some specialized music formats that aren't being offered in the
Kansas City radio market.
And it looks like
we're not just talking Kansas City...listeners in more than 4,000
cities in over 192 countries
are tuning in regularly and writing to say how much they enjoy
Radio George all over the world!
Radio George
is on-demand Internet radio with some very special features:
