How about embracing new technology? In 10 years when all cars will have internet browsers in them and the majority of people are listening to music on the internet, will we still call it radio? Sure, why not.
Sometimes I even (don't freak out on me) watch TELEVISION on my computer too! I know, it's crazy. I promise I'm not from outer space.
: How can they be "on the air" when this is an internet-only stream? Actually, they are not utilizing any AIRWAVES at all.
: I am tired of these internet services (like Mike North's new venture) refering to themselves as "radio", when there isn't a RADIO involved at all. The listeners are using a computer to hear them (which cost$ money)--not a radio.
: I just went to the website for chitownsmoothjazz.com. They use the term "internet radio", which is false because they con not be heard on a radio anywhere!
