Over the next ten to twenty years there will be a revolution in
broadcasting
so drastic that I believe TV sets will virtually disappear in
American homes
within the next 25 years. The in-home AM/FM radio is already going
the way
of the 1950's short-wave, and within 15 years will become a
curiosity.
The US general public "never" listened to short wave in the 1950s.
99.99% of the radios sold didn't have it.
HUGE SNIP
And back to satellite radio? Are you kidding, Howard
Stern? You don't think that people are going to go out and actually
spend a
few hundred dollars to buy a satellite dish and tuner, plus pay
monthly
subscription fees, when they can most likely get your show pirated
over the
Internet for free do you?
What kind of "expert" is this who thinks you need a dish to receive
satellite radio? Has he been in a store to price sat radio equipment?
But some of his dire predictions seem reasonable to me.
