How will RadioIO make money? I love all the new announcements, but how will those announcements get new subscribers?

I think the burke in the afternoon and leger every night increases your value in the market to potential advertisers.

IMO creating more live content daily gives those advertisers more reasons to spend their dollars.

I also think that they're betting heavily on getting the subscriber counts up, hopefully via some real advertising they do elsewhere. Their real $$$ is going to come from $13/mo. subscribers from people across the country and around the world, not from some 30 second spots for Albertson's. Bubba needs to get his name out there.

ooo yay exciting

and they just have to keep putting out solid, exclusive content to drive people to subscribing - the advertisers will come in droves with the subscriptions (of course - sorry for stating the obvious - haha)

Exactly. In addition, they need to keep piling up the downloadable content and securing their streams. The whole "socialization" of radioIO is nice and all, but in the end I'm interested in the content, period.
