[BC] Radio's Influence on Music Sales

[Harold Hallikainen]

> Maybe radio stations should get into the music business.  The
> station's playlists can be shown on the web site, together with
> links to a web shop where the music can be bought.
>
> The station does not have to operate that web shop, but could
> make money off referrals instead.
>
> One nice side effect is that this model gives stations an
> incentive to play music that people do not own yet, instead
> of playing the same playlist over and over again.

http://www.pandora.com and http://www.kpig.com are doing this now. I'm
sure others are too, but these are what I listen to. For broadcast, I
think this is the idea behind iTunes tagging also.
