How about an internet radio where you listen when you want to with the option of no commercial interruptions? I feel that this is the direction the future of radio is heading to.
I have a Sirius subscription, but the stations themselves still have advertising when they choose to. The people putting on the show need to get paid somehow and I'm not sure the platform itself gives very much. I'm not sure if anything is 100% commercial free. I hope someone proves me wrong though.
Maybe Netflix needs to get into the radio business. They found a way to do it. I have just gotten used to the fact that commercials are necessary for stations to help pay their bills.
