Oferta de programas on demand (o futuro)

«CelleCast announced this week it has added five new programs to its network of on-demand talk radio programming including: Todd Feinburg Show, Nick Federoff on Gardening, Things Green Garden Minute, and science programs Earth and Sky and Clear Voices for Science.

The service already carries well-known hosts like Dr. Laura, Lou Dobbs, Jon Elliot and Dave Graveline.

Cell Phone users can start with CelleCast’s "Free and Easy" plan which requires registration but no fees. For more features, users can also upgrade to the service’s "Power Plan" for $9.95/month.

You can also listen to programming online at www.cellecast.com. CelleCast was launched in November, 2007. (Corey Deitz)

«Are you a talk radio junkie? If you sometimes find yourself away from a radio you can still grab some programming on your cell phone with CelleCast. (...) CelleCast also recently introduced "CelleGrams" which allow listeners to bookmark and send audio clips from their cell phone to someone else who might be interested.»

Algumas questões que ainda não consegui perceber, porque o site não explica:

- os programas são emitidos em directo? com ouvintes?

- passam primeiro na rádio e depois neste operador? são simulcasting com a rádio?

O programa da dra Laura é emitido «Live links work only between Noon and 3:00pm PST» If there are no stations near you, Dr. Laura can be heard on XM Radio, via your cellphone through Cellecast, or through StreamLink: Ou seja, passa primeiro na rádio e depois é disponibilizado no cellecast, onde tambem pode ser ouvido em directo ou apenas depois, gravado?
