[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3426943, member: 26737"] Well, of course it is. Have you ever tried to feed a live tree through a press? The sad thing is that lots of radio stations tried embracing streaming back in the mid to late '90s. I used to listen to KVOO's stream from my office in Norman, and occasionally to a stream from a station in Chicago. What killed them was the royalty system; the gov't changed it, and almost overnight it went from a flourishing ecosystem to a virtual desert because the royalties structure became far too expensive for the online side of the house, and the more popular you became, the worse it got. (It has been too long, and I've forgotten a lot of the details, but they suddenly went from a royalty system with costs capped by the number of people in their broadcast area to an almost unlimited audience...)
