[BC] Listening in the car

[frankgott@aol.com]

The following is from Radio World's weekly NewsBytes.
 
"The number of people who say they ?listened to radio news yesterday? fell from 47% in 1994 to 36% this year. 
That?s one of the statistics about media consumption in a report from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. "
 
So where is the audience going?
 
The following is from a news release:
 
"General Motors and Apple Computer just announced a major
partnership that will allow music lovers to have full functionality of their
iPOD devices in their GM automobiles. 

Beginning in October 2006 and continuing in 2007 GM owners will be able to
purchase a $160 add-on that will give iPOD owners full use of iPOD
functionality, including clear quality sound and access to playlists and
artists names on their factor-installed dash display."
 
Your thoughts?
