The End of Radio

Today’s teens still listen to a lot of music, but it doesn’t come from conventional radio. In this program, host Jian Ghomeshi takes the pulse of an industry that seems to be on the verge of dying as the shortcomings of airwave radio are measured against Internet radio, podcasting, satellite radio, and HD radio. Perspectives are provided by Bob Roback, of Yahoo! Music; Ralph Simon, of Mobile Entertainment Forum; Rusty Hodge, founder of Internet radio station SomaFM; Tim Westergren, founder of customized online streaming service Pandora; Ted Cohen, of EMI Music; media strategist John Parikhal; music futurist Gerd Leonhard; Jennifer Ferro, of 89.9 KCRW, an award-winning college radio station that is successfully making a name for itself in the online radio market; and others.
