How funny. They'll be like a fish out of water. "Radio's for the taking..." Um. Ya. Sure, buddy.
I'm thinking that since they can't use the strategy they have on the airwaves of licensing every last bit of open spectrum, they'll need to find another way push independents out of the picture. I can see them getting full on behind RIAA and assisting attempts at law suits against podcasters for playing unlicensed material.
Too bad they've never heard of Matt May, Magnatune, and Lawrence Lesig, eh? ;)
Dear Clear Channel... you can not survive out here unless you learn one important thing. The podcast audience is one who listens by choice. Unless your content is something they want to hear, they won't bother with you. This is far from the world you are used to of being able to play what you want and convince people it's what they want to hear simply because they have no other choice.
