Fundraising drive on commercial radio WIZZ-1520 (Greenfield, MA)

[Dave Tomm]

Car manufacturers are now building docks for the I-Phone, so it can  
recharge while driving and patches in directly to the car's sound  
system.  Many stations are developing apps that allow streaming over  
the I-Phone.  Public Radio has already done it.  Clear Channel has  
their iheartradio app that allows streaming of nearly all of their  
stations, plus other content as well.  Individual stations have apps  
as well.  It's still in the rudimentary stages, but internet radio is  
coming.  It will make satellite radio largely obsolete and make things  
even more difficult for local signals.
