In the US, don’t some music companies have a history of paying radio stations to play their music?

Nice post.

The BBC has set an impressive standard - but lets not forget the vision of your regulator who made DAB possible - instead of some abomination like HD which has effectively cut off US (and Canadian) stations from a next generation device.

Well said. I think in the rush to the gold, we in new media need an antagonist.

On one level, we can’t ignore the role big media plays in shaping our culture (I’m speaking about in the U.S.) and on another we have to fess up to the fact that big media delivers the trash we detest because it’s what we crave. If there wasn’t an audience for the content we complain about then it wouldn’t be produced for us

So perhaps we are revolting against ourselves by trying to reinvent the medium to some extent.

Great stuff. I had a word with the nice woman who sent you the email too.

My point was - it’s not so much that people trust traditional media less - it’s more that it’s more fun to make your own stuff.
