Radio gives up on webcasting.

Renda Broadcasting's WSHH-FM (99.7) and WJAS-(1320) ceased their
online broadcasting feature on January 1, 2009 "due to escalating
royalty fees for online streaming broadcasts." WMNY-AM(1360) remains
online. You might recall that Renda Broadcasting was among the first
to pull music from the internet a number of years ago when the RIAA
challenged whether there should be further royalties incurred for
broadcasting over the net.
Way to drive using the rear-view mirror, guys.

And make sure to shut down your electricity when that bill gets too
high, too.

Like it or not, webcasting is going to be the future...Either paid or
free, nationwide web Internet access will be available with every
dashboard being web enabled....

Already we're seeing an internet radio made by Blapunkt for
automobiles. I have to ask the question, what does Blapunkt know that
radio doesn't?

Maybe somebody should ask them?

When and if HD grabs any measurable audience, the RIAA will also
notice and want their unfair share of fees..
So if broadcasters like Renda Broadcasting won't pay and play for
internet access, will they ever go HD?
What a joke...

CCK,

HD-Radio is "Radio" and AM & FM Radio
has a proven method of generating Income
for more than 80 Years.
# 1 - Paid for by Advertisers {Sellers} plus
# 2 - Free Over-the-Air to Listeners {Buyers}
-finite- 'Limited' Number of Radio Stations

Webcasting's main problem is a potentially Infinite
{Unlimited} Number of Internet Audio Providers and
very small numbers of Customers per Provider :
thus NO PROFIT POTENTIAL for 99% of them.


Webcasting that is 'connected' to a real AM & FM
Radio Station and an 'established' Listener Base :
Has the best chance of becoming a real Business.
