Transistor kills the radio star?

Os sites das rádios têm o que os ouvintes querem?

«In our content analysis, we found that many radio station Web sites do not include the features most desired by Web site visitors. Radio station Web site visitors were asked to rate their interest in different features on radio station Web sites. As we can see in the table below, the most popular radio station Web site feature is the “ability to listen to the radio station”; however, less than 60 percent of the Web sites stream their audio and allow people to listen to live broadcasts. “Information about local concerts,” the second most wanted feature, was found on only half of the Web sites. A mere six percent of the Web sites gave the “title and artist of songs recently played on the station,” which is the third most desired feature.»
