This is a format exploding in front of our very eyes. It’s bigger than Pandora, and in fact, it’s the reason why Pandora has so many jabbing competitors! According to just-released survey data from Edison Research and Arbitron, 103 million Americans are now accessing online radio in some form, in any month.
It’s a growth curve that looks like this:
That’s nearly 40 percent of the US population 12 or over, and a massive chunk of breathing Americans. Which all sounds high-growth and rah-rah, but can the online radio sector afford its own growth? Pandora is struggling to reach profitability, and serious questions now surround its financial model. After all, the more listeners Pandora and the broader space attracts, the more money in licensing it has to pay – and so far, streams aren’t covering costs.
And they aren’t necessarily replacing traditional radio: 9 out of 10 Americans who listen to online radio still dial into a traditional, over-the-air AM or FM station. In fact, on any given week, 87 percent of Americans who access platforms like Pandora have also listened to some form of ‘traditional,’ ‘terrestrial,’ or ‘from a tower’ radio station.
That smashes the notion that one format must replace another. Indeed, we could be witnessing the development of the most overlapping and redundant media landscape in history.
You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas.
You’re traveling through another dimension — a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man‘s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. That’s a signpost up ahead: your next stop…
