Mark Ramsey, in his Hear 2.0, writes, “You don’t need to ‘remind’ listeners of anything. Nobody wants to be ‘reminded’ of stuff they already take for granted. They want to hear about what’s new. And that, my friends, is radio’s true challenge.” And of course, Kurt has a few thoughts on the subject in his blog (here). NY’S WNEW IS BACK, ONLINE AND ON HD: CBS Radio has resurrected the legendary New York rock station (WNEW-FM became a rock station in STUDY SAYS 6 IN 10 WANT FCC TO POLICE NET RADIO FOR BAD WORDS: An American Media Services Radio Index survey found that 61% of American adults say they would want at least “some” government regulation of Internet radio content with the intent of filtering obscene or profane language. We have not found any legal commentary, however, as to whether it’s actually in the FCC’s mandate to regulate Internet speech.

In response to: “STUDY SAYS 6 IN 10 WANT FCC TO POLICE NET RADIO FOR BAD WORDS”…
I wonder if the authors of the study notified the respondents that they also had the option of turning off their computers or mobile devices, or perhaps even finding another radio stream to listen to, if they found the current stream offensive.
