Languishing

Is the status of terrestrial radio still languishing in the depths of darkness waiting for that last death knell signaling its final demise. It's hard to say really. There always sees to be some effort on the horizon by some nostalgic fan who thinks there is still great merit in what can be accomplished with it. Satellite has proven to be none to popular as was expected so where do we turn from here. Is a new combination hybrid Internet/ terrestrial radio configuration in the mix for the near future? Only time will tell but there is certainly a need for some kind of localized neighborhood "barker" to keep things fresh and crackling while the commanders of community media decide if they are willing to downsize their reach and scope of the vision they seemingly once had for all the possibilities of the potential "cloud radio".
