Podcasting impact on traditional radio

“Thanks to the new technology, more people than ever will be creating and listening to audio programming in coming years. But the radio industry, a members-only club for the best part of a century, is turning into a free-for-all.” (Business Week)

The folks at Bridge Ratings report “the use of digital music players does not appear to be significantly affecting time spent with traditional radio.” In fact, you’ll probably listen to more radio after listening to mp3’s for a while.
