An Eye on New Media

The start of commercial radio in the USA. Taken from the film 'Empire of the Air'.

I love NPR.  I love the phrase "permanent beta" even more.  I am definitely adopting this phrase.  I did not know that it had been five years since NPR's last show launch.

There is a very interesting disucssion about how our new economy is creating a new strategy toward show launches.

The network is apparenty taking a page from agile software development, creating radio programs in "permanent beta" to reach new audiences.
