Quoted from Feb. 2 issue of trade mag. Radio World
"Internet radio is much bigger than satellite ra- dio is." "That was the conclusion of a recent write-up in the Wall Street Journal, which noted that Net ra- dio had about 19 million weekly listeners compared to 3.4 million for satellite radio at the time (it has since increased to 4.1 million)." "The Journal reports that three years ago,Internet radio had 11 million weekly listeners. Figures are from Arbitron and Edison Media. By Comparison, 227 million people listen each week to terrestrial ra- dio." "The growth rate of Internet radio has caught the eye of traditional radio groups such as Clear Cha- nnel and Radio One. Clear Channel recently hired an AOL radio executive to lead its Web radio ef- forts;Radio One plans to simulcast some broadcasts online, COO Mary Catherine Sneed told the Journal in December." "Arbitron says people tend to listen to terrestri- al radio in the car and Internet radio in the of- fice.That balance could change as home networking systems become more popular and wireless Internet capability expands, according to the Journal."

Wow, Radio One streaming some of its stations, that would be quite a development!
Isn't it funny how internet radio has so many more listeners but gets so little attention compared to the satellite broadcasters?
