Will Radio Take over Podcasting?

At one level, I totally agree with Linuxcooldude that the Internet levels the playing field, but when the major league players hit the field, the Little League players are going to have a hard time getting noticed.

Yeah, I realize that the more famous ones will get noticed as they are well known and some of their fan base will follow them too.

But the small type broadcaster does have some advantages over a well known radio DJ. That is the viewer will get more interaction with the host you will probably not get with the latter.

I do know one local radio station that also streams their broadcast through the internet. Don't know if that makes a big difference or not. I know reception is spotty for arial reception so the podcast is a good alternative.

I think the question is will podcasting take over radio? With more and mor cars coming with an auxilary jack, and with Stitcher coming standard in cars in the future, I would listen to "Keith and the Girl" over "Bob and Tom (and a mountain of commercials)" any day. The top Cleveland Drive time radio show is 38% commericals (article).Who wants to listen to that? Beating top networks is possible Kid Friday beats large network shows on a regular basis (article).

It will really come down to quality. Quality of both the content and Audio/Video. If you are creating good content the viewers will come over.
