"Pandora nearly beats CBS in Online Radio"

CBS Radio is number one - but look at who's number two, Pandora.

Pandora, the company with exactly zero terrestrial radio stations.
Pandora, the company that has no Arbitron nor any need for Arbitron.
Pandora, the company that actually charges folks who use the service
the most.

Pandora is a handful of streams away from being the leading source of
online radio in the US (among those that Ando measures).

During September, Pandora was launched more than 80 million times - 20
million more than CBS Radio and 60 million more than Clear Channel and
its hundreds of streaming brands.

60 million more!

Recognize, of course, that this industry is young. Recognize, of
course, that it will only grow.

But recognize, most importantly, that your station - our industry -
need not be the leading players or even significant players in this
world unless we specifically set out to do so.

You don't win at online radio by repurposing your over-the-air signal
online.

You win at online radio by providing an experience matched to the
digital medium and the expectations of a digital audience. You win by
catering to the audience, not to your pre-existing over-the-air
brands. You win by thinking digital, not by thinking analog belongs
digital.

This is radio's game to lose.

re:pandora

the general motors wi-fi device for the car cost $499

the service is $29 per month

knowing how apathetic people are to pay $10 for sirius/xm, i hardly think
this will take off anytime soon.

people are compaining about the price of gas, dont see the value of
sattelite radio....and you are going to put all your eggs in the pandora
model?

i think people are staying with the "free" model. free radio is what people
want.

Whom ever said Pandora would need Internet connections? The Slacker
portable comes pre-loaded, refreshed through Wifi hotspots. Pandora
could easily do the same thing. Online, terrestrial radio will die a
slow death, as "personalized" music services take over - LOL!

Pandora is not radio. Pandora is an algorithm.

Please point me to an aircheck. Pandora has no producers, no music
directors, no studios; no radio.

That's quite an indictment. I have been a radio professional since
December, 1963. I am a major fan of web radio (both web-only and
simulcast).

Radio is a craft that requires a human element to be any good. Radio is
not a cosmic jukebox.

morning.Two big plastic trash cans and three big 45 gallon trash bags
full of trash and assorted/unassorted odds and ends, it will be similar
to that on Friday too, garbage truck pickup days.Like I said before, It
is going to take me months and months to even get my old house even
halfway decent looking.
I am not neat and tidy like those queers are.
