The BBC’s recently (1 February 2014) ran an interesting story about the unexpected survival of the radio on their  respected Newsnight program.

The story mentions all the cool things that can be done with radio on smart phone as well as the ability to push information, offers and even coupons.

It points out that radio makes a personal connection that no other medium can offer and what happens between the records is what sets it apart form the other streaming services such as Pandora. It also questions if the future of radio is on FM, especially in England where DAB is gaining momentum.
