it still has a place because cars aren't equipped with free internet access yet. once that happens, radio everythig will be dead. nobody will tune into FM or AM stations when they have the whole fucking internet to get exactly what they want. its already happening too, because its getting easier to connect your phone to newer cars, so that gets them the streaming they need to never turn on the radio.
it wasn't that north had the wrong idea with the webio. thats how sportradio will be in the future... direct podcasts. but his implementation was wrong in the aspect of taking loans from a criminal and stuff
And also calling it "webio".
And being years too soon.
Sports Radio finds itself in the same spot that WGN does... the audience is dying off and there's no other audience there to replace them, so do you try to cater to the youth to bring someone in, or just engage the people still listening and ride it out? At some point it probably gets cost cut to a local morning show and local afternoon drive and national everything else.
Now that I am WFH as a result of the pandemic, I hardly ever listen.
