With news updates on cell phones and watches, and immediate Internet
news coverage, will listening to news on the radio become something of
the past?

Listening to anything on radio is becoming increasingly difficult.
It's a tossup between the talking head saying "News-Talk 730 - WSC" 25
times every 10 minutes, trying to jack up the ratings by saturating
the listeners with RCA marine communication's shortwave callsign (730
is WSCC) and the saturation advertising playing the same spots 8 times
an hour in a string of like spots played 8 times an hour for 6 minutes
STRAIGHT with no programming whatsoever.

Is it any wonder noone is listening?
