a regional radio renaissance?
i don't know how if it's necessary and sufficient to cause it to happen but one can certainly hope that the new that clearchannel has hung out the for-sale sign might lead to it being split up which might lead to a reinvigorated regional radio market.i can't remember the last time i voluntarily listened to commercial radio and increasingly if a public radio show isn't available via podcast i'm not listening to it on a regular basis.

I'm just not in a car enough to regularly want to turn a radio on, and you're absolutely right that podcasts are a great substitute for live radio in most circumstances.
We're lucky here to have WCBN (student radio at Michigan).
The one radio I do turn on when I drive of late has been one of those "iPod format" stations (this one calls itself "Doug FM"), where they have a big playlist and will play country, disco, and heavy metal in that order.

interesting. i don't think we have anything like doug fm around here. i've been slipping into more of a talk/public radio ipod routine and enjoying radio opensource, this american life, on the media etc.

Well, no, blogger, you're not. And therein lies your gift. Because even if it's true the vast majority of blogs would not be missed by more than a handful of people were the earth to open up and swallow them, and even if the best are still no substitute for the sustained attention of literary or journalistic works, it's also true that sustained attention is not what Web logs are about anyway. At their most interesting they embody something that exceeds attention, and transforms it: They are constructed from and pay implicit tribute to a peculiarly contemporary sort of wonder.
...[T]he Web log reflects our own attempts to assimilate the glut of immaterial data loosed upon us by the "discovery" of the networked world. And there are surely lessons for us in the parallel. For just as the cabinet of wonders took centuries to evolve into the more orderly, logically crystalline museum, so it may be a while before the chaos of the Web submits to any very tidy scheme of organization.”
