The radio (in it's traditional sense) has no chance of survival. It's only lifeline is people listening to it in cars but even that won't last. If I'm in the mood for listening to music I can pick my own songs or use a service that creates customized playlists and listen to them without sitting through 10 minutes of ads every three songs. The whole idea of radio stations is old-fashioned and if it was pitched today it would be laughed at by every VC in the room. Maybe I'm being too harsh on it, but that's just my opinion that I've formed over many years of trying to find something good on the radio in the car.
