Redefining "Radio" for the Digital Age

Thursday, March 19
2:00PM - 3:00PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 12AB
Austin Convention Center

This panel will discuss the implications of the increasingly blurred lines between different radio platforms: Broadcast (AM/FM), satellite and Internet. No longer can radio be defined solely as "the wireless transmission of signals through free space by electromagnetic waves of frequency." How are new services in the car, mobile devices, set top boxes and even wearables changing the nature of radio? How will radio listeners experience music in 5 years? What is radio in the digital age? Is it time for a "new" definition of radio?
