The More Things Change...
...The more they stay the same.
Check out this quote I stumbled across. Please note that it is 70 years old!
"Never before the advent of radio did advertising have such a golden opportunity to make an ass out of itself. Never before could advertising be so insistent and so unmannerly and so affront its audience."

Director of Public Relations, Ford Motor Company, 1938.Labels: Advertising, Industry, Radio, Rants
Truth in (Radio) Advertising
N is for Nokia and Net Radio
SymbianOne.com has posted a review of Nokia's new N95 device that features an internet radio application. As their YouTube recording (embedded below) illustrates, this bit of software is quick and simple to use.
Just how long do you think it will take for this utility to be adopted by other mobile companies? Since the net radio application is built from an open source solution, professionals and hobbyists alike from around the globe will be developing the versions (and hacks if neccesary) needed to get it running on a myriad of other mobile devices (whether the manufacturers want them to or not.) How long before you can buy a net radio-hacked Verizon or iTouch phone on eBay?
ZombieRadio thinks you just might have time to finish this article and watch the video clip.

The #1 Radio Advertiser in '07? Radio.
Apparently the number one advertiser on Radio in 2007 was Radio itself -- or rather its lamest evisioned evolution... HD Radio.
The HD Digital Radio Alliance spent $250 MILLION dollars in radio dollars last year pimping the Edsel of airwave evolution. The investment netted them a little over 1,451,00 ad units.
And let me check... Yep.
HD Radio is still inferior when compared to the choice (and cost) of Web Radio.Labels: HD Radio, Industry, Rants

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.
