10. What do you think is the future of radio?

I believe in the value of public radio for quality programming and news. The question is whether public radio will survive financially. In contrast, commercial radio has a lot of competition and depends on advertising revenue. With the exception of drive time, many radio listeners are customizing music programming available with new technologies on the Internet.
