Internet radio is clunky. Plain and simple. Traditional radio, even with it's commercials and sometimes annoying disc jokey's is smooth. You know how it functions and when a song is coming next. Internet radio is hard to get playing on your nice stereo, satellite radio stinks for reception and still has annoying pauses breaks and even commercials. It's crazy. Internet killing the radio is a long way off. Marketers should continue to look towards traditional media to spend their dollars. Erik's last blog post..Wanna Buy Some Blogs?

I listen to the radio for music, but, I do not take any notice of the ads on it. However the internet, and billboards, and also tv are huge ways of advertising sitll.

How many of us actually buy something in response to radio ads though. I can’t think that I have, not for a good few years at least.

Radio, particularly the more appealing satellite version accompanies one in the car, in the kitchen in other activities without having to change records or switch channels etc. Radio in fact will grow and radio stars too! Nicole Price's last blog post..Fitness Equipment: Some Good Deals

Interesting fact because I think Internet and radio are competitor in information business. But this is the way how radio will keep exist.

The other thing about the Limbaugh example, is that people are interested in content, regardless about what the medium is. Much to Marshall McLuhan's chagrin, sometimes the medium is not the message, but the message is what people will really listen for.

Radio and the internet work well together. Promoting your station’s blog via the DJ’s / announcers, who have their own blogs on the radio station’s website has proved tremendously successful.

The price to contact 1000 persons with advertising is still the lowest for radio compared to tv and the internet. There is only one cheaper medium: billboards

Glad to see some folks see the same thing I do. I have just started to "own" how much I like radio over other mediums. It takes real talent to effectively talk someone through something rather than making pictures to do it. I know this sounds so old school but I guess I am. Seems to work.

Whitney is exactly right. There is a greater intimacy formed through the radio than print or TV.

The Internet has, in fact, expanded radio audiences and created new opportunities to “broadcast” and podcast on-demand content.

It is a far more interesting medium to work in than print or video, partly because print and video are far less forgiving than radio. Radio is still the home of the “live” broadcast. Many of the shows on WebmasterRadio are live-to-air. One has no idea what is going to happen next on a live show and I think the audience senses and enjoys it, much like watching a tight-rope walker.

While all mediums are going to be violently disrupted by the Internet, radio is the one that will remain mostly intact. Internet enhanced the radio star.

Right on…I might add that the intimacy that is formed by broadcasters like Rush Limbaugh create a greater trust bond than just regular endorsements. The best techniques today create and use a core of enthusiastic customers, which become evangelists for the product or service.
