Transistor kills the radio star?

O que é o primetime? O online...

«“The days of the ‘lineup’ are numbered,” Mr. Wolf said. In other words, with fewer viewers watching linear over-the-air television, networks can’t assume that a heavyweight lead-in like “Dancing With the Stars” will keep viewers watching all the way to the late local news, a pattern that has helped networks introduce new shows.

It may also mean that matching up programs becomes less important, or at least less potentially damaging. Last fall’s powerhouse Thursday at 9 p.m. match-up — ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” versus CBS’s “CSI” versus NBC’s “The Office” — was a scheduling move influenced by time-shifting. All three shows are popular among the young, upscale viewers who record and stream shows most often.

At what point will "morning drive" not hold its traditional lead over all other dayparts (aside from PPM)?  When will radio have a podcasting model that makes it convenient for fans of morning shows to be able to easily time-shift their listening?  (And keep in mind that if a PPM respondent listens to a podcast within 7 days of its original airdate, it "counts" in the ratings.)
