Radiooohmygod
you're a bunch of idiots.
Straight from InsideRadio.com's morning headlines:

Radio could use some good news --
for Wall Street's sake.

Summer's not usually a season that generates much good news for any industry. As stock prices stagnate Wall Street's waiting to see what happens with the Q2 revenue numbers in July.
Yes, radio needs some good news for investors. How about the news you'll abandon your idiotic notion of HD Radio and embrace a technology (I don't care which one; podcasting, cellular technology, etc.) that puts more content and more control in the hands of more listeners?

When ClearChannel's stock couldn't go any higher, they announced intentions to develop more online/on-demand content. Good plan. Wanna see a BAD plan? Read below for headline #2...

Here's an idea worth emulating - a $10,000 prize for the best pro-radio, anti-satellite ads. Credit the New York State Broadcasters Association with this idea - and they'll distribute the winning spots across the state.
Nooooo!
You don't get positive press or investor reaction by creating negative ads.

You're going to run a contest to bash satellite radio?
One of the fastest growing audiences of new technology in years, and you're going to spend time and money to bash the product AND, by default, the people who embrace.

Brilliant guys, simply brilliant.
If I needed another example to convince people you're a bunch of brain-dead zombies -- this was it. Thanks for making my job easier.

By The Way...
The ChangeThis.com ZombieRadio proposal is still in the top 10, but it's fallen a few places to #4. How about a little link-love in helping spread the word (and get some more votes!) for this project that could help bring radio back to life?

Focusing primarily on terrestrial radio broadcasting, ZombieRadio.com is dedicated to pointing out the mindless and brain-dead actions of the mainstream media industry in general. 

Don't get too comfortable satellite, television, cable, and internet -- we all know from seeing zombie movies that the contagion spreads quickly.
