radio on the internet
More and more everyday, I am starting to believe all those doomsday prophets who were predicting the demise of old media and how they would lose the battle to the wonders of the internet.
I have no TV. I can watch any tv show or movie on my laptop. Even the most obscure, cancelled, old piece of crap or gold, whatever my little heart desires. Why would I pay for cable that comes with a bunch of channels I don’t watch?
I don’t listen to the radio. Why would I put up with annoying radio hosts, commercials, crappy songs I don’t like, and songs I used to like but don’t anymore due to excessive repetition?
I want something different, I want to be able to listen to the 111 worst songs of all time, and now I can, thanks to the wonderfully diverse selection of radio stations available on AOL Radio. There is even a station called WTF!!
update… so i realized they do have the occasional commercial, but on the plus side, you can skip through songs and even pause them too!
id have to say i couldnt agree more. i even have my laptop hooked up to my tv for watching my downloaded shows and movies. and i dont pay for any of it. i always find myself laughing at commercials when i see them at friends’ houses, only to realize they are old news to the rest of the world……so there are pros and cons, obviously
