I was not serious about Internet Radio but some seem to believe the
Internet is the holy grail for everything no matter how impractical
(setting up laptop and mobile in my car before setting off each morning ).
To have decent programmes usually requires a reasonable investment in
talent and I don't see how tiny internet stations can achieve this
without a mass market. As far as I can see the more stations we have the
worse the material on offer. DTV seems to be a good example, I'm often
seeing the same programmes on that I watched in the 1960/70's.

Most current commercial radio stations are fairly dire, usually playing
almost continuous music or having intentionally provocative presenters
to generate revenue from phone ins.
