Radio: A New Golden Age?

Britain is a little ahead of the U.S. in terms of migration to digital radio. So perhaps we can look to the UK for a glimpse of where we're headed.

If this article in the newspaper, The Independent, is any indication, good things are ahead:

"The digital revolution and the expansion of new ways of accessing information through the internet has given a huge boost to one of the older and more traditional forms of electronic media - the radio.

According to figures released yesterday, the digital age has created a new golden age of radio, with the number of listeners in Britain at a record high of more than 45 million every week."

Keep in mind that that listenershhip figure is out of a total British population of 60 million.
