É o futuro, sem dúvida!

«The BBC wants to allow audiences to create personal radio stations from its content, its director general has said.  The planned service, provisionally called MyBBCRadio, was revealed by Mark Thompson at the Radio Festival in Cambridge.

João, o Cotonete já faz isto há dois anos. Ou seja, qualquer pessoa pode criar uma rádio com os vários conteúdos das rádios Comercial, Rádio Clube e Cidade FM, isto, para além de poder escolher o tipo de música que quer na sua rádio.
Por cá também se fazem coisas interessantes...
