The End of FM Radio? That’s a Bit Harsh.
God bless Molly Wood. She’s one of my favourite tech reporters. But the problem with being a tech reporter in Silicon Valley is that it’s tough to see the world through the eyes of anyone who’s NOT in the Valley.
And while there’s plenty for terrestrial radio to worry about when it comes to new techologies–especially those in the dashbord–we’re not about to see the extinction of FM radio. At least not in Canada. And at least not yet.
Still, it would be silly if radio people were to ignore punditry like this. Things are changing. Give a listen to the following exchange from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Interesting given this piece of news out of wired: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/02/the-reprise-of-radio/
