On The Radio (Whoa Oh Oh)
I'll be filing a story for Technology Daily's PM edition from Wednesday afternoon's House Energy and Commerce Telecommunications and the Internet Subcommittee hearing that examines the future of the radio (hence the Donna Summer song lyrics).
Witnesses include Sirius Satellite Radio CEO Mel Karmazin; Geoffrey Blackwell on behalf of the Native Public Media and the National Federation of Community Broadcasters; Robert Kimball of RealNetworks on behalf of the Digital Media Association; the Consumers Union's Gene Kimmelman; and Greater Media's Peter Smyth on behalf of the National Association of Broadcasters.
While I anticipate that much of the discussion will revolve around the proposed XM-Sirius merger, experts will likely share their thoughts with lawmakers on a host of other issues that are pertinent to 21st century radio. Stay tuned…
