Future of radio is not linear programming

At a meeting called Radiopuls 2009 one of the speakers for a commercial radio station claimed one need not 6, but 20-30 radio station so that the user can get the radio they want, when they want it.

There are so many wrongs in that statement. Listeners get what they want first when they do not use linear programming anymore. Spotify, and similar services. That is where the future is, and where the listener get a choice.

Similarly one could preload the PVR with content that is ready for consumption when the viewer/listener want to have it. Why store the program at the radio station before sending it? I.e. very few programs are live, and the storage can any day now happen at the listeners and viewers living room instead of somewhere else on the network.
