Pricey HD receivers, most of which cost upward of 0, have caused many potential listeners to tune out—despite the support of major broadcasters including Clear Channel Communications (CCU), who have boosted the quality of existing stations by using analog-digital transmitters and created hundreds of HD subchannels. In a survey released May 23, radio researcher Bridge Data estimates there are only 450,000 weekly listeners of HD Radio—compared with 15 million satellite subscribers and 57 million Internet radio listeners. (About 93.5% of all Americans tune into traditional radio every week.) "A majority of Americans are now aware of the term HD Radio. But fewer than 5% of them understand what it is, what is the benefit," says Dave Van Dyke, CEO of Bridge Data. Still, 40% of respondents expect to listen to HD Radio more frequently in a year.» (fonte: «Trying to Figure Out HD Radio», Douglas Macmillan, 29/5/07, Business Week) O mercado publicitário está a crescer em Portugalé a convicçaõ de Carlos Marques, director-geral comercial das rádios da MediaCapital, na sua última newsletter: «No final de 2006, os analistas de media previam um crescimento de investimento dos anunciantes no meio rádio para 2007.

The pricing would differ from radio ad sales. And because the sales team is a different group of people, there would be no added-value giveaway opportunity. It would be treated as another business and not tied directly to the radio station’s ad sales team. This would allow stations to grow additional business from podcasts, HD channels and Internet sites that are linked to the local community.The cost will be low, and the potential revenue gains can be almost unlimited. We are amazing promoters and marketers, but we must turn our attention to new growth technologies. Broadcast companies must recruit creative people who can develop new revenue streams, then empower them to make it happen. If radio companies hire and support these “drivers,” they will deliver the goods on entirely new levels of business and generate a strong future beyond what radio used to be.» (Lloyd G. Ford,PodcastingFor Profit, 29/09/06) 18-24 ouvem podcasts«According to a recent comScore study, podcast listening (as measured by who downloads what from iTunes) is dominated by Men.

O futuro da rádio é a rádio personalizada?«Radio's got a problem. Although some 200 million people tune in each week to hear their favorite overcaffeinated DJ or catch those crucial rush-hour traffic updates, it's getting tougher to hold listeners' attention. Facing flat revenues and competition ranging from iPods to music phones, the 87-year-old industry is scrambling to reinvent itself. But not even satellite radio or the new HD format addresses this analog medium's fundamental flaw: it doesn't give people any say in which songs they hear. If you don't like a track or a DJ, your only option is to turn the dial--or turn it off. That could change if the pioneers behind personalized radio continue to win over music lovers who are burned out on regular radio but can't be bothered to constantly refresh their iPods with 99¢ iTunes. On websites such as Last.fm, Pandora.com and the new Slacker.com personalized radio lets you train it to understand your tastes. You can, of course, just listen to the music passively as it plays on your computer. But it's even better when you make it your own, by marking each song as a favorite, skipping past it or banishing it from the station's playlist altogether. (See chart below for more details on how personalized radio works.) And despite growing concern about how proposed new royalty fees for Internet radio stations could hamper the industry's growth, on May 23 Sprint became the first wireless carrier to offer personalized radio on its phones.» fonte: «Learning to Love Radio Again», By Anita Hamilton, Time Magazine, 29/05/07 04/06/2007 17:56 osegundochoque Enlace permanente. 3.4.3 Canais de streaming No hay comentarios.

Elvis Duran, who hosts a popular morning show on New York City's Z100, says he could imagine a future in which listeners wake up to some comedy and conversation from the show followed by three songs tailored to their tastes. But he doesn't expect live DJs to become obsolete: "When people wake up in the morning, it's good to hear some people who are talking about interesting topics and who let you know, hey, the world's still spinning and I can go out there." Good idea. No wonder Apple never built a radio tuner in the iPod: it's scared of the competition» (fonte: «Learning to Love Radio Again», By Anita Hamilton, Time Magazine, 29/05/07) Cada vez menos a rádio convencional é útil para indicar nova música«(...) asking online radio listeners where they uncover new music. The question used was a fill-in: "Lately, I've been finding new music on..." The survey respondents were given the choice of broadcast radio, internet radio, satellite radio, file swapping, legal music service, and other. A funny thing happens when you crunch these numbers. It shows that a substantial number of the internet radio audience give internet radio the nod as their key "new music" source - 77.1% to be exact. Only 7.7% say that, of late, they've been finding new music on broadcast radio. This same question was asked of RRadio Network's online radio station audiences in 2005. In April of that year, 24.8% said that broadcast radio was leading them to new music. And, of these online radio station listeners - two years ago - 54.1% reported internet radio was where they found "new music." All other choices (satellite radio, file swapping, legal music service, and other) also dropped in the percentage of people using them to find new music between 2005 and 2007. Study the chart and consider that online radio has, in just two short years, run away with the perception that it's delivering new artists (to people who listen to internet radio).

Como será a rádio em 2015 na Europa?Conclusões de um estudo envolvendo 40 especialistas do Canadá, Dinamarca, Finlândia, Irlanda e Grã-Bretanha: - most Europeans would have digital terrestrial radio. The DRACE report says DAB will be a strong option in the UK and Denmark, but supplemented with Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) and DMB; DAB is “an expensive and uneconomic system.”; Nevertheless, by 2015, Finns are likely to be using the DVB-H technology developed by Nokia, while Canadians will have IBOC, DAB and satellite radio - TV-style digital switchover for radio is very unlikely. They also predict that given existing market penetration, FM radio will continue to play a significant role in both Europe and Canada. - most respondents predict there will be distinct national solutions. Differences in national regulation and frequency administration will fragment the digital radio landscape. - there will be an increase in personalized and on-demand radio, with more listener sovereignty, personalization options and the gradual disappearance of schedules. Radio will be available when and where listeners want it. - traditional broadcast radio will continue to play an important role in people’s lives. This is attributed to the strengths of linear radio, including mobility, ease of access and localism, as well as powerful journalistic and artistic content.

Depois do SpiralFrog e do Qtrax é agora a vez de Peter Gabriel lançar o We7, outro serviço de música online baseado em publicidade que oferece downloads gratuitos de ficheiros MP3 sem DRM (via The Register). Cada faixa irá incluir no início um anúncio com a duração de 10 ou menos segundos, sendo o lucro gerado distribuído entre os artistas. As músicas deverão ter um bit rate de 192 Kbps. Os anunciantes deverão pagar entre 0,30 a 0,60 libras (44 a 88 cêntimos de euro, respectivamente) e o utilizador pode ver-se livre do anúncio depois de entre três a cinco audições - se bem que no site apenas se mencione que existe a possibilidade de remover a mensagem publicitária quatro semanas depois de se ter escutado a faixa pela primeira vez; não se sabe é se se terá que pagar alguma coisa em troca…» fonte: «We7 de Peter Gabriel oferece música com publicidade », Remixtures.com, 01/05/07 Esforços na GB para valorizar o streaming«The RadioCentre Player features 12 preset stations, including the national services, Classic, Virgin and TalkSport; other big stations such as Heart and Capital, and a few smaller regionals from Channel 103 FM to Lincs FM. The selection of the preset list is not based on audience or any other consumer measure but on who sits around the RadioCentre board table, hence the bizarre mix. Putting such political nonsense to one side, the player gives access to every single station in the UK, either in an alphabetical format or by group ownership basis. This means that you can listen live, in real time, for free, to any station in Britain. Whether you are a record plugger wanting to assess a music format (or, more importantly, find out whether a station really is playing your artist's song), or a media buyer checking out the target audience, this is a brilliant tool. It is quick - almost every station buffers and streams live in less than 10 seconds - and there are fewer clicks than going on to the BBC website to "listen again". This brings me to the BBC, and where some commercial radio executives start to get uneasy. The player features a "search" button, which brings up all of the BBC's national, regional and local stations (http://www.bbc.co.uk/imp/). So imagine if you are tuned to Magic, and the breakfast presenter Neil Fox promotes the RadioCentre Player URL. Listeners are instantly transported to a place where not only can they hear all of Magic's commercial rivals, but the BBC as well. Chris Moyles is just three clicks away.» (http://media.guardian.co.uk/mediaguardian/story/0,,2094429,00.html) fonte: «This is the future of radio - and new music», On An Overgrown Path, 08/06/07 O iPod-killer?

Just as we are seeing more music consumers choose the singles they want (digitally) rather than the ones they don't want (by buying CD's), we will increasingly see those same consumers demand control over their passive music environment (i.e., radio) as well. Not by seeking out more choices but by controlling the nitty gritty of the choices they have. Actively or passively, listeners will gradually become their own programmers.When it comes to music, future radio will have to be much more responsive to the individual than to the collective.

O video não é uma ameaça, é uma oportunidade...diz Fred Jacobs: «The video revolution is underway, led in large part by YouTube. While most people focus on its sale to Google for .65 billion, consider this: YouTube didn't even exist until February 2005. This reinforces the amazing potential of web-based business concepts, as well as the meteoric rise of streaming video. This year's version of the Jacobs Media Tech Poll reinforces the video phenomenon among Rock Radio listeners. (Consider that we didn't even ask about video streaming until this year's poll.)The data shows the rising tide for video streaming, as over half our respondents download/stream video on a frequent or occasional basis. Of them, nearly three-fourths visit YouTube. Of course, this has implications for radio, a world in which pictures have traditionally not existed. But today, listeners expect to see video. Video is everywhere, from flat-screen TVs to phones to iPods to elevators. Radio's ability to turn that corner and provide cool video of a morning show stunt, the "Rock Girl" competition, the backstage scene from concerts, or as a way to recap a great event are all new applications that can breathe life into terrestrial radio, its personalities and its communities. But most stations don't have a webcam, can't post simple video to their websites, and often lack a person in the building with rudimentary editing skills. (After watching my 15 year-old son and his friend edit a 5-minute video on iMovie the other night, it dawned on me that these are not skills that require a high level of tech knowledge.)» (fonte: «Video Helped The Radio Star», Jacobs Media, 7/06/07) Video isn't a threat to radio - it's an opportunity. 11/06/2007 18:36 osegundochoque Enlace permanente. 3.4.3.1 ainda é rádio?

Confronted by a slow erosion of listeners who are turning to iPods, podcasts and other sources for entertainment, the radio corporations are trying to merge their over-the-air music and D.J. chatter with the Web, adding online streams of their broadcasts and features already found on many independent Web-based stations. These include live chat rooms, blogs and MySpace-style social networking features. Late last month, CBS said it had paid 0 million to acquire Last FM (last.fm), a popular Web radio service where listeners can customize stations based on their personal taste, and also explore other users’ playlists. And Clear Channel, the biggest radio corporation, with a stable of more than 800 stations, has built miniature social networks into the Web sites of Hot 99.5 (hot995.com) and 7 other pop-music stations in major markets in the latest step in an ambitious digital initiative (...). Broadcast radio still commands a massive audience: An estimated 230 million people tune in each week. The trick for the big radio corporations, though, is that pursuing listeners online may mean developing a wholly different approach to programming. Many Internet-based stations say their medium allows them to offer an abundance of genres far outside the boundaries of traditional over-the-air music stations, often with playlists that can be tailored to the taste of the individual listener. Pandora (pandora.com), one of the most popular Internet radio services with roughly seven million users, creates personalized stations based on the characteristics of users’ favorite songs. Live 365 (live365.com), which says it has four million listeners a month, is a searchable portal to thousands of tiny stations playing genres ranging from neo-soul to Christian blues. Given the proliferation of wireless Internet access, many of the fledgling radio services hope that fans will soon be able to flip on an online radio stream while driving to work instead of tuning into the local morning radio D.J. “It’s just a matter of time before you can get Internet streams wherever you are,” said Tim Westergren, a co-founder of Pandora.

Músicos querem ir buscar receitas às rádios (EUA)«Another group has formed to represent the rights of artists in the digital music rights fight to get music royalties compensation from radio. A partnership of artists and music industry organizations launched musicFIRST, for “Fairness in Radio Starting Today.” This coalition is asking that performers - aspiring and local artists, background singers and stars - be compensated when their music is broadcast over the air. Some 100 recording artists, including Martha Reeves, Jimmy Buffett, Celine Dion, The Doors, Earth, Wind & Fire, Patti LaBelle and Mary Wilson, have signed on as founding members. Radio does pay royalties to ASCAP, BMI and SESAC, groups that distribute compensation to artists, but music labels have been fighting for higher rates from radio. The RIAA and SoundExchange are among 11 music industry organizations that belong to the new coalition. “Of all the ways we listen to music, ‘Corporate Radio’ is the only medium that refuses to pay performers even a fraction of a penny for their voice and creativity,” stated Mark Kadesh, executive director of musicFIRST. “This campaign is about making sure everyone, from up-and-coming artists to our favorites from years-ago, is guaranteed fair treatment when their music is played.” The new group is lobbying Congress, along with the RIAA, to support legislation to levy digital performance rights royalties on radio. NAB calls it a performance tax. NAB, CEA, other interested parties and the RIAA have been in talks to try to develop a non-legislated solution.

NUmeros do podcasting«According to research from The Diffusion Group, 11 percent of adult broadband users, or approximately 12 million U.S. consumers, listen to podcasts at least once per month. TDG’s report on new media predicts that by 2012 that number will grow to 24 percent of broadband users or 38.5 million people. It says that while podcasting continues to expand, two factors are keeping a lid on usage: podcasting is perceived as too complex for average consumers to use; and so they remain unaware of the quantity and quality of content available for consumption. Dale Gilliam III, director of primary research and author of the report, says this lack of understanding is due to the many ways in which pundits and marketers have used the term “podcast.” Other findings: * Among those who listen to podcasts at least once a month, 68 percent use a portable device while 49 percent listen on a PC; * On average, users listen to 5.4 podcasts per month on a portable device and 4.7 on a PC; * On average, those who subscribe to podcast services are signed up for 4.1 different feeds; and 70 percent of users rely on iTunes to access podcasts.» fonte: «TDG: Podcasting Audience Growing, Medium Poorly Defined by Marketers », RWOnline, 15/06/07 Queixas contra a rádio tradicional«Let's face it -- radio stinks.

Foi com estas palavras que Mark Story, responsável pela programação das 50 rádios que o grupo EMAP possui no Reino Unido e na Irlanda, abriu o seminário ‘Rádio na Era da Internet e do iPod' integrado no festival de publicidade de Cannes. Sublinhando os crescentes meios de difusão - mp3, iPod, telemóvel, televisão e satélite-, Story acredita que "não estamos perante tempos confusos. A rádio sempre soube reinventar-se ao longo das décadas". Sinal disso, explicou ontem, é a convicção de que a rádio "pode tornar-se ainda mais relevante. Devemos ter a preocupação, não com a rádio, mas com as pessoas que trabalham na rádio tradicional e que não percebem o desafio da rádio digital".A mudança na forma como a rádio é ouvida aponta para os caminhos que o meio deve trilhar. No Reino Unido, citou Story, 8,2% das pessoas maiores de 15 anos já ouve rádio através do telemóvel. (...) Ao mesmo tempo e olhando para uma cidade como Londres, onde um parte significativa das pessoas se desloca em transportes públicos, o programador da EMAP apontou para as oportunidades que os downloads e os podcasts representam. "A rádio e o iPod são parceiros perfeitos", considerou. Afinal, a rádio não pode fechar os olhos aos 18,4% de britânicos que possui mp3.

While ratings for traditional radio broadcasters have been lackluster, Internet radio listenership in the U.S. has risen to 29 million a week, up from 20 million three years ago, according to Arbitron Inc. and Edison Media Research. "Even so, the nascent industry has yet to capture the biggest prize — portability... Now, start-ups and giants are jockeying for position in mobile Internet radio, in a race that could rearrange the business model of music and broadcasting... "Last month,... Pandora Media Inc., one of the biggest players with seven million registered users, announced it is working with Sprint Nextel Corp. to make its service available on mobile phones. Pandora says it is also working on its own player as well. [previous RAIN coverage here.] "One of the field's newest aspirants, Slacker says its hand-held will be out by summer's end. Slacker is also pushing hard into automobiles. The company says it is close to introducing a car kit that will play Slacker-selected tunes in any vehicle. Chief Operating Officer Jim Cady says he is in early talks with unidentified auto makers about building Slacker technology into car dashboards... "...Internet radio 'will sweep into the car, and the traditional station is going to have to think about how they reprogram to compete,' says Jonathan Jacoby, an analyst at Banc of America Securities... ''We've had conversations with a huge number of car companies [and] car audio manufacturers that are all very eager to start making this more a part of the dashboard,' says [Pandora founder Tim] Westergren... "[Slacker's] planned car kit reflects a technical advantage. While most other Internet radio providers are reliant on WiFi, Slacker's portable devices will use both WiFi and satellite technology... "Slacker says the first hand-held devices, which will start at 9, will refresh automatically when they're in WiFi zones,... "Rather than paying statutory license fees, Slacker cut deals directly with record labels. Like satellite-radio broadcasters, Slacker will turn over an undisclosed percentage of revenue in royalties, rather than paying per song and per play."» fonte: McBRIDE, SArah, «Internet Radio Races To Break Free of the PC»,, WSJ, 18/06/07 http://www.kurthanson.com/archive/news/061807/index.shtml, O comentário de Kurt Hanson: «It surprises me — I guess pleasantly — that this is such a big story that it warrants being the lead story in the Wall Street Journal today. The thing is Internet radio is already mobile! Any consumer with a Palm OS device or a Windows Mobile device can download a music player than can handle the streaming MP3 format. Once they do, they've got access to thousands of Internet radio stations. And a adapter from RadioShack will feed the signal from your mobile device into your car stereo system. So, basically, mobile Internet radio is here already! From now on, it's just a matter of improving and fine-tuning the details. -- KH» 19/06/2007 12:01 osegundochoque Enlace permanente. 3.4.3 Canais de streaming No hay comentarios. Comentar. Insólito: Brasil com dois padrões digitais (HD e DAB)«O governo deve decidir até setembro o padrão de rádio digital que será utilizado no Brasil. O ministro das Comunicações, Hélio Costa, disse hoje que o país poderá adotar dois padrões: o norte-americano, reivindicado pelas emissoras de rádio, e o europeu, que permite melhor transmissão em ondas curtas. A idéia é usar esta última tecnologia para transmitir rádios educativas e públicas. A previsão é começar a utilizar a tecnologia digital no início de 2008 nas principais cidades do país. "Há uma tendência entre os radiodifusores que leva ao Iboc [padrão norte-americano]. Mas a indústria não faz objeção a um modelo híbrido para atender o sistema de ondas curtas", declarou Costa. Apesar de admitir que a transmissão por ondas curtas está "praticamente abandonada", Costa lembrou que a tecnologia é muito importante principalmente na região amazônica. Existem hoje cerca de 50 emissoras em ondas curtas no país. Segundo o ministro, a transmissão em ondas curtas pode substituir, em alguns casos, o satélite. "Com uma transmissão em Brasília, você chega a toda a América Latina. Reduz muito o custo", observou. Com os dois sistemas, porém, o ouvinte precisará de um aparelho para ouvir emissoras que transmitem em ondas curtas e outro para AM e FM, como já acontece hoje na maioria dos aparelhos» fonte: «Brasil pode ter dois padrões para o rádio digital», 20/06/2007, Folha Online 22/06/2007 16:02 osegundochoque Enlace permanente. 5.1.2.1 HD fora dos EUA No hay comentarios.

Como será ouvir rádio daqui a 10 anos (ou 20)?A resposta é uma incógnita absoluta, porque coexistem as mais diversas hipóteses. - deixaremos de ouvir rádio hertzianamente ou a rádio hertziana, existindo, será apenas um complemento de um serviço global oferecido via internet? - a rádio digitalizada conseguirá afirmar-se (DAB, HD ou outro sistema), mantendo a rádio como acto sincrónico (uma determinada programação pensada por alguém e destinada a muitos, sem possibilidade de alteração)? - acabarão os receptores individualizados de rádio e ouviremos não atraves de receptores FM mas de telemoveis, consolas, mp3... emissões streaming? As respostas são uma incógnita na medida em que, mesmo tentando não olhar o presente pelo retrovisor, poderão aparecer novos desenvolvimentos tecnológicos que - pela suas características - irão condicionar tudo o resto, porque há movimentos e fenómenos (das diversas indústrias envolvidas) que não se conseguem controlar/antecipar, além de que cinco ou dez anos poderão ser muito ou pouco. Mas há algumas coisas que parecem «certas»; sinais estruturais de desenvolvimento (e numa fase de grande incógnita/encruzilhada são essas a que nos devemos agarrar): - a digitalização mudou dois paradigmas em que assentava a rádio convencional e nesse aspecto são duas novas ameaças: criou novos canais de acesso à música, deixando de ser a rádio o canal privilegiado, em muitos casos (para os jovens sem poder de compra, ou mais isolados dos grandes centros) único, de acesso a nova música; possibilitou o aparecimento de verdadeiras alternativas de escuta em acumulação, que antes pura e simplesmente se reduziam à rádio: podemos conduzir, correr ou estudar e ouvir, ao mesmo tempo, milhares de músicas, sem publicidade e a gosto, nos leitores de mp3/iPod. Como consequência imediata, e até porque são os mais atentos às novas tecnologias digitais, os jovens começaram a afastar-se da rádio; -a digitalização é resultado da Internet e a Internet desenvolveu-se em tantas frentes que, numa delas, se constituiu como meio de comunicação social (como suporte alternativo aos meios convencionais); para se viabilizar precisa de publicidade e a publicidade é um bolo que antes era repartido pelos tais suportes convencionais. A partir do momento em que se constata o crescimento de interesse pela Internet (menos de 10 anos para atingir 50 milhões de utilizadores, contra os 15 anos da televisão, por exemplo), e que o bolo a distribuir não cresce, há desvio de receitas para a Internet. A rádio, como meio mais desvalorizado - o único a cujas audiências não corresponde um valor proporcional de publicidade -, foi o primeiro a sofrer. Sem as receitas habituais, viverá como a rádio? - A internet/digitalização também significa uma oportunidade para a rádio - mas para que essa oportunidade se afirme a rádio terá de evoluir de tal maneira que deixará... de ser rádio. Será outra coisa qualquer, que ainda não tem nome, mas não será mais uma programação, pensada por poucos, e destinada a muitos, sem possibilidade de a personalizar. PS - a resposta à pergunta dos especialistas do DRACE diz-nos que «by 2015 most Europeans would have digital terrestrial radio» e que «FM radio will continue to play a significant role in both Europe and Canada», e isto porque « This is attributed to the strengths of linear radio, including mobility, ease of access and localism, as well as powerful journalistic and artistic content». Não penso que assim vá ser. Para mim será mais «an increase in personalized and on-demand radio, with more listener sovereignty, personalization options and the gradual disappearance of schedules. Radio will be available when and where listeners want it» Como é que a rádio pode aumentar a interactividade«A key interface repeatedly referred to throughout the conference was “the red button,” an established concept in television here. During programs with additional/interactive content, viewers can press a red button on their remote to access the content. Speakers outlined proposals for the use of the red button as a conduit for personalized content provision and additional revenue generation, some of which is due to become operational later this year». fonte: Lawrie Hallett, «Digital Show Faces Realities», Radioworld, 2006 23/06/2007 12:00 osegundochoque Enlace permanente. 3.0.1 Tendências do segundo choque No hay comentarios.

A imagem como solução para o futuro da rádio«Radio is not just becoming an interactive medium: it is also becoming increasingly visual and platform operators and supporters of DAB or DMB broadcasting must address the threat of Visual Radio on mobile phones, which uses ordinary FM signals into the handsets and synchronises them with WAP/GPRS connections via the mobile network to deliver enhanced data including colour images of artists, station logos or products that are being advertised. (...) Visual Radio - pioneered by Nokia, marketed by HP but only available on a handful of systems worldwide, represents a very limited radio market today. However, it combines the efficiency of FM over-the-air broadcasts with a two-way, one-to-one connection that makes true interactivity possible, including the ability to link to websites, send emails and download ringtones or other services that can be monetised. Visual Radio looks like a killer application, especially for those targeting youth markets. It is an example of the power of mobile phones as radio devices, the emergence of significant new players in the radio industry (like Nokia as a receiver manufacturer), and an indication of how radio is quickly evolving beyond audio-only. (...) How will the DAB-based marketplace respond to Visual Radio? DAB already contains the tools, in the form of MOT (Multimedia Object Transfer) Slide Shows, to deliver still images alongside audio. But where are the colour displays that will make free-to-air digital radio broadcasts as graphically rich and compelling as Visual Radio? Are digital radio platform operators interested in delivering still colour images and is there a business model to support it, bearing in mind that mobile phone operators can draw upon subscriptions or pay-per-use GPRS connection time to fund Visual Radio? Is there an advertising/sponsorship model that could make truly visual radio possible on free-to-air digital radio? The emergence of visual radio looks so compelling, from a consumer perspective, that it begs the question: will there be any other kind of radio 20 years from now? How should radio broadcasters, content creators and platform operators view this innovation in terms of their future businesses? Perhaps the biggest potential for radio-to-mobiles is in interactivity. texto de apresentação do The Digital Radio Show 2007, 11 e 12 de Junho 2007, Londres 23/06/2007 12:12 osegundochoque Enlace permanente. 3.4.3.1 ainda é rádio?

A rádio é má para a indústria discográfica, diz estudo dos EUAJá que «While it seems likely that radio broadcasters can have a profound impact on the success of individual sound recordings, it does not appear, as Sidak and Kronemyer have commented, that anyone has empirically examined this proposition» (pág. 4), Stan J. Liebowitz, da School of Management, University of Texas at Dallas, estudou e chegou à conclusão de que «The analysis above provides evidence that radio play is negatively related to the overall level of record sales and that the size of the negative impact is large. This implies that radio play is largely a displacement for the sales of sound recordings, a result that seems at odds with most conventional thinking» (33) e que «The negative impact of radio on record sales only exists for music broadcasts and not for talk radio, which is consistent with a view that listening to music on the radio is a close substitute for listening to music on sound recordings» (34), propondo «With a full property rights system in place, record companies could control how frequently their records were played and extract payments from radio broadcasters, or they might make payments to broadcasters as the case might be. A complete market solution would have a set of rights like the one between the television and movie industries. Record companies would be able to enter into whatever contracts they wished, including restricting the playing of songs to particular stations in particular localities» (35). «Don’t Play it Again Sam: Radio Play, Record Sales, and Property Rights», Janeiro, 2007 (via NetFM)

A propósito do dia de silêncio na internet (EUA)Kurt Hanson explica porque é que vários grupos com responsabilidades nos EUA não aderem: «First and foremost, some groups believe the death of Internet Radio is a blessing. They feel that the less Internet radio there is, the better off they will be. In fact, if all Internet radio stations disappeared tomorrow such that terrestrial stations could shut down their streaming efforts, I'm sure many would be glad to do so. (...) Radio will, in other words, be victimized by its lack of vision. Because not only will this rate hike, if it's approved, come back to haunt radio by setting a precedent for what "fair" compensation is, not only will it cause many broadcasters to abandon their streaming efforts (if they had any to begin with), it will also kill most small webcasters leaving room only for the folks with deep pockets and a long view of the future»
Canadá: audiências entre os mais jovens a cair«OTTAWA -- A new study has found that Canadians -- especially teens and young adults -- devoted less time than ever listening to their radios for entertainment in 2006. Statistics Canada reports young people aged 12-24 appear to be switching to digital music players and online music services. On average, Canadians tuned in to their radios for 18.6 hours during "measurement week" in the fall of 2006, down from 19.1 hours a week in 2005 and about two hours less than in the fall of 1999, when radio listening peaked. Among young adult men, listening fell to 13.7 hours from 15.1. Among their female counterparts, it slipped to 14.6 hours from 15.4. Senior women continued to be the most ardent radio listeners, tuning in for 22.7 hours per week -- virtually unchanged from 2005 -- while listening by senior men edged down to 19.5 hours a week from 20.3» fonte: «Radio listening dropping off», London Free Press, June 27, 2007, By CP 28/06/2007 18:17 osegundochoque Enlace permanente. 3.0.1 "A geração iPod" No hay comentarios.

Gabilondo aseguró que la radio "es incapaz de gestionar la complejidad" del mundo. (...) "Para nunca más volver a la radio, porque no hay futuro, sólo hay pasado", dijo antes de repasar la historia reciente de la radio y los cambios ocurridos de la implantación de la democracia en España y la llegada de las tertulias radiofónicas.

A rádio tradicional não gosta da Internet(The following was contributed by piano-driven Americana artist Dave Turner of Asheville, NC.): «Traditional radio and satellite radio are losing marketshare to innovative services responding to market demand such as Pandora, which I subscribe to for per year. Pandora allows me to create radio stations based on their music genome project, which takes traits of music by certain artists and finds other artists with those traits. So, if I create the Elton John channel, it finds other artists appealing to Elton John fans. I create several channels named for my favorite artists, set the player to mix and it plays music I like all day with no commercials, and it introduces me to new artists and provides links for me to buy their music. (Now there’s money that really IS going to the artist in CD sales AND trackable listens.) Here’s the kicker: because of these kind of services, I NEVER listen to the radio except when I’m in my car, and then I only listen to public radio. I think that the big-monied traditional and satellite media companies would like to see internet radio stamped out. »
