Future of Radio

Radio Room from the Library of Virginia

Good morning. Hope your weekend went well. Mine was pretty good, aside from some difficulty scheduling the CFUR playlist over the weekend. If you noticed any problems– my fault. I promise to do better.

This website is pretty much wrapped up, though I am still looking at making it a little more user-friendly. One thing I’d really like to do is embed the live feed on the website without having to open a new window or reload it every time you navigate elsewhere in the site. I’m sure it has something to do with iframes and flash and possibly ajax, but really, I don’t know. So if there are any techies out there looking for a challenge– drop me a line.

I’m going to keep on working on the podcast thing, adding more shows as I’m able. If you have a show on CFUR, make sure you get in touch with me about how to add your show to the podcast lineup.

I’m also perusing the blog of James Cridland, a “radio futurologist” who basically travels the world visiting radio stations and writing about what works, and what doesn’t. Oh, and there’s a cool event that we’re working on. I don’t want to say too much before all the organization is taken care of, but stay tuned….
