Radio listenership has eroded as consumers have adopted streaming music services such as Spotify and Pandora. To stay competitive the nation’s largest radio station operator shocked the industry this past week by firing dozens of local D.J.’s and replacing them with a national programming team. Indie-label artists and music fans are sure to suffer as radio playlists become more homogenized and less relevant.

I hope not. It's obvious that apple and all those companies are coming out with great easy ways to buy and listen to music, but radio d.j.s still have that people person communication swagger about them. They know what people want on a hometown feel.

This is a sad thing. I have lived in big cities and small towns and I have always liked the local radios station personalities.

Video killed the radio star...and conglomerates killed the deejay. I love satellite radio and national shows like All Things Considered but the loss of the local deejay is almost as bad as the disappearing local newspaper.
