From a music-lover's point of view, commercial broadcast radio is just about a complete loss at this point, but in the Olde Tymes it was the only way you got to hear new music--or any music at all for that matter--unless you bought the records yourself. And how would you know which record to buy unless you heard it on the radio?
So it was always my dream to have my own radio station that would only play my favorite music, with no commercials or annoying DJs. That's the rough concept behind radio i although technology has now caught up and there are countless thousands of internet radio stations doing pretty much that, many of them non-profit labors of love, and countless cable and satellite radio stations with dozens of genre channels.
