I’m more seeing it from a listener point of view even though I am a broadcast tech. To me, it seems that others are innovating while some are happy with the status quo and the Questionable programming decisions of the big commercials are leaving them stuck in the past.
And on the internet offerings side. I hate, completely hate, the approach that SCA and Nova have done where as you REQUIRE their app to listen to them. At least iHeart opened itself up to community but there is issues. I remember 5-6 years ago, I could just download Tunein and I had everything. That was a step in the right direction but it seems weve gone backwards. Nova saw this and reinstated their Tunein presence, and to be honest one app for worldwide stations at the listeners discretion of what they download is the way to go, rather than sealing them in. And at the moment the only ones missing are SCA, and Listnr is a battery hog and is buggy as hell on Android, which is why I just made the decision personally to abandon listening to SCA stations
