This will allow discussions on each to be focused on the specific needs and interests of everyone. However, I invite those who usually only look at one or the other to, on occasion, take a look at the other. The industries of traditional Radio and Internet Radio are impacting each other in complicated ways. Staying in touch with discussions in both Forums will help you better anticipate these impacts! Radio Forum: about.delphi.com Internet Radio Forum: about.delphi.com My thanks to "October" on the Internet Radio Forum for suggesting the Krankit Radio Network this week. Not only did it get added to the online station listings, it was the Site of the Day for today!
