Hi, A simple question with perhaps a more complicated answer. First I suspect the stations to go away entirely. The reason is loss of listeners due to the migration to digital on line and downloaded music. Fewer folks even look for over the air stations. I know I don't. Thus the sub cause of their demise is funding. Someone pays for the existence of the stations and if the number of listeners falls below some threshold then the people with the money be it sponsors or other type of organization will stop paying. As for what happens to certain genre of music...I expect it too will migrate to digital. Web based sources are pretty easy to set up and not very costly.
