It's been a fascinating few weeks watching the US deal with potential issues with their ratings system.
Here's the thing in a nutshell. US radio uses, in large markets, electronic measurement through a PPM, a portable pager-like device. It listens for inaudible tones in the audio, and works...

Greetings from the bowels of the London Underground. There's no air-conditioning down here, and therefore it's hot and relatively unbearable: but one thing that's making it a little more bearable is Iggy Pop, who is currently playing me the most random choice of music tracks on his radio show.
I'm listening to...

So, Beats 1 has launched - the new, global, internet radio station from Apple. Now we’ve had more than a week to think about it, it’s probably time to consider what it means for those of us who work in radio.
It’s not polished.
It’s been interesting watching the US radio...

London has a new “soulful” radio station - called Mi-Soul.
I say it has a new radio station. It isn’t, really. It’s been going for three years, actually, but last weekend it made it to actually broadcasting on the radio, rather than being stuck on the internet. It’s interesting that...
Radioinfo's Radio Tomorow contributor, James Cridland has compiled a list of some of the more interesting and informative links about radio's future.
So, Pandora offers free 'radio' stations, and Apple kind of does too, and now we've just seen the launch of Google Play Music Radio. Watch this YouTube video…The Google offer is relatively similar to the others. Limited skips (six an hour) but music based on artists and genre. And you get to also get Google's...

Whenever I’ve made it to Oslo, Norway, I’ve been there in winter - snow on the ground and it appears to always be twilight. But last week, an extraordinary thing happened: the sun shone.
The sun shone because there were radio people in town, of course: a conference...

In Monday’s WWDC announcements, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Apple have invented internet radio. The press release guffs on about how every listener will “hear the...

Last week, I was in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, for the Asian Media Summit. The conference was themed around social media - but I was able to speak about radio, surely the world’s oldest form of social media, alongside Commercial Radio Australia’s Joan Warner. Earlier, Asia Radio Today’s Steve Ahern...

The latest UK RAJAR figures are out, and they really underline the way radio consumption is changing.
Now, it’s easy to look at overseas radio figures, like the ones here in the UK, and say that they’re irrelevant. You’d be right, to an extent. The UK is its own distinct marketplace, with a very strong public service broadcaster as...
