The problem is that NetRadio was somewhat unique, but every SECOND they sit there and pick their noses.....other companies will come in with the same product, AND have the promotion and marketing.
So far, all we have seen is a totally mediocre appearance by Paulson on CNBC, which I hope he NEVER shows his face there again.
NetRadio has unique programming, and doesn't broadcast live radio stations. The independent artists... how good is that? They don't have the exposure as the bands who distribute their music via MP3s. They need some BIG artists signed, Big, and FRESH artists, not has-beens. They need to sell advertising between sets of songs.
Navarre needs to keep up with the stocking of the retail stores, the more the better. I think by spinning off NetRadio, it makes the appearance that Navarre isn't directly competing against their retail customers? I believe that retail shopping is far from dead, Navarre will be fine for awhile in that...
But they need fresh new minds to get NetRadio out there and in our faces.
What disturbs me is that because of their ages...they have this "Good Ol Boy" thing happening....Insider is new prez at Net Radio, Everen is good buddies of NAVR..... You'd think they have the "Mom and Pop" business model...hard to grow that....

<<what they need is a compelling product that gives them a competitive advantage that cannot be duplicated. >>

You mean like all of those portals? How many are there that offer the same product, 4 or 5? What are they trading at? How easy is it to duplicate their technology? Hmmmm....
