The Rundown
Unless you've been under a rock, you should have noticed the music industry and radio undergoing some real diversification issues. It's a changing universe and we're gonna examine some of the new trends--including the one at Vocalo.org!
Satellite, Internet and HD are all moving onto the scene that was once held down by traditional terrestrial radio. Sirius & XM eagerly await the FCC's response to a proposed merger. Then what? Should XM & Sirius be allowed to merge? And what about the monopoly known as Clear Channel?
We'll have Vince Lawrence of Slang Music Group on the horn at 11 am to discuss the trends in music and radio with us and Vocalo.org General Manager Wendy Turner will also be joining us LIVE in the studio to add to the conversation.
How do you use radio and are you buying in (satellite/HD, radio for pay) or settling for the same old same old? Tell us what you think when you call in with your questions/comments for Vince & Wendy @ 312-893-2993.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later on we'll get into some mature subject matter when we have discussion on an interview I'll be playing with a man who has visited escorts for the last 21 years of his life. In his own words, "Once the blood goes to the other head those logical decisions go out the door." Got a reaction to this type of diversification of sex for money? Get on the telephone with us at 312-893-2993 at 2pm.
QUESTION OF THE DAY: 888-635-1112 Does the internet help or hinder diversity and why? Discuss among yourselves. We'll play your responses on the show.
