What's left for radio is local content, & content worth listening too.
Playing the same hits over and over simply won't due in a world
wireless and plugged into the world wide web.

You claim that "local content" is key, and "playing the same songs over
and over again" is killing radio.

Then you proclaim that streaming, Ipods and Zunes, Wifi, and Wimax are the
answers....most of which have NO local content....and play the same songs
ove and over again. (BTW...the Same songs over and over again are OK, as
long as they are the the songs that you like!)

iPods and other mp3 players have gigabytes of storage that hold thousands of
tracks. Mine has over 6000 different tracks. My spouse's has over 13,000
different tracks.

The average radio station playlist is less than 400 tracks, many, if not
most, less than 200. I think the "Jack" format has as many as 1000 tracks,
but still plays mostly the same 200 of them. Many internet stations have
huge playlists of many thousands of tracks.
