"The next 15 years will be the demise of terrestrial radio as we know

As long as people continue listening in their cars, radio will survive
because it's wireless. Did you miss this paragraph? "Radio isn't an
industry in need of a pep talk -- profit margins of 40 percent are not
uncommon at stations and listenership has held up well..."
