I reckon things are going more and more small-business based. Broadcasting via a current 'over the air' system is incredibly expensive, whilst internet radio stations can be run from a home connection although this isn't an option unless you have very high speed internet access (at least 8 meg upload, more depending on the number of listeners) although this is rapidly becoming more and more common, with some people now getting around 32 meg upload speeds on their connections (whilst I'm stuck with 0.1 meg upload).

I thought satellite radio (like SIRIUS) and HD radio (FM) was the future ?

Internet Radio is definitely the future, not DAB. IMO Internet Radio sounds better at 128k than DAB...

When somebody brings out a decent 'net tuner for hifis which I can control with my BeoLink 1000, then I'll be getting one. At the moment, it's iTunes for me.
