Future Radio
- Synopsis
- Audio recording of a public discussion on the future of radio, held at the Royal Society for the Encouragements of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce (RSA) on 10/3/2008.
Future radio offers radical new ways of engagement. The opportunities offered by high speed connectivity between portable handheld devices, the wide take up of wi-fi internet broadband, the nascent vitality of social networking sites and the inevitable process of human viral networking will increasingly define the future radio landscape.
Future radio will be a multi-media, downloadable, time-switchable, podcastable, portable, interactive, international and consumer-led process.
Are we ready for it? Can we afford it? Can we afford not to afford it? Do we have to let go of all we hold dear? And how do we ensure that a remarkable radio heritage is not lost in the process?
Panel includes: Ivor Gaber, Emeritus Professor of Broadcast Journalism, Goldsmiths University of London; Andrew Phillips, Channel 4 Radio, Ayesha Mohideen, Head of Speech Radio Interactive, BBC Audio & Music Interactive and Neil Gardner, Chair, Radio Independents Group.
