-BUT- So far I do not see any Internet Radio 'There'.

FWIW - The San Diego Union-Tribune's SignOn San Diego website
is set to officially launch its all-San Diego-music all-the-time
Streaming {Internet} Radio Station.

=IF= Lack of Local Content is One of the Items that is Killing
AM & FM Radio Stations : Having a Local Staff may Grow an
Internet Radio Station.

Real Estate : location, Location. LOCATION !

Radio : content, Content. CONTENT !

Provided that "That" Internet Radio Station is 'Seen' as a Web
{Listening} Portal [HomePage] by it's Listeners : The Place To
Go-To on the Internet when they are Motivated by what they
Hear-on-the-Radio. Radio : News & Info; Video & Graphics;
OnLine Chat & Contesting; Buy-That-Tune; etc.

What's Their Business Model ? : Free Over-the-Internet Radio
with Paid Advertising ! -Hey- May be that will work.

FWIW - Remember many of the 1st Radio Stations were Owned
by 'Local' Newspapers and were Business Extensions of those
'Local' Newspapers.
* IMHO Radio was better back then with Local Ownership and
Local Talent.
* Late Night DXing got you a 'different' Voice-from-a-Far -not-
20~50 Radio Staions all broadcasting Coast-to-Coast AM.
