Scooter,

The Future of Free Over-the-Air AM/FM Radio is Web-Based
Inter-Active Participation by the Radio Listeners.

=IF= An FM "HD" Radio Station ran an Inter-Active WebSite
that allowed the Radio Listeners to Choose from the 300
current Audio Selections; and Program* the Next Hour of
Radio Listening : They would have a Nexus between the
Radio Listener and the Radio Station.
* Certain Selection Algorithms would have to be in-place
to precude repetitive and redundant playing of one piece
of Music over-and-over-again for hour-after-hour.

Add-in an On-the-Web "Audition" of new Audio Selections
to be Added to the Play List by the Listeners.

Yes - Such a System would create Brand Loyality between
the Music Radio Station and the Music Radio Listener; and
Radio Advertisers would PAY to Tap into that Brand Loyality.

-ps- This would apply equally to Analog or Digital AM/FM
Radio and the Next Generation of Radio Listeners who
are PC and Web Centered Audio Consumers who are
Interested in Making Their Own Choices.
