Article Abstract:
Many startups are launching ultra-specialized Internet programs aimed at wooing away lucrative niche audiences from incumbents in the music industry. Internet radio, which first surfaced about five years ago, allows anyone with a computer, media player software and Web access to listen to radio broadcasts from around the world, and increasingly, to thousands of programs designed especially for cyberspace. However, traditional radio and advertising communities are viewing the Internet onslaught with skepticism. Broadcasters can charge a premium to reach a specialized audience but it is an open question as to whether Internet radio is the most effective way to reach those listeners. Local advertisers account for about 75% of the close to $1-billion in advertising revenue generated annually by private Canadian broadcasters. On-line audiences are expected to grow as wireless Internet technologies spread.
