Good work.
I can't believe none of the MSM has asked Snedden this question yet.
Is Media7 considered non-MSM? Is there even a useful definition of MSM now?

In paying my isp provider i'm sort of paying for what i want to listen to
But none of what you pay your ISP goes toward paying for what you listen to, in the same way that paying Duracell for batteries for your radio doesn't.

Sorry Robbie, after reading everything you've written and then your comment about ads on the radio, my mind is still boggling. If you don't like ads, then who pays?

I see a chance for commercial sponsorship of art music and would like to suggest Office Max commission John Psathas to write the Headdesk Concerto. Members of the NZSO to play desks, ranging in size from junior-school to CEO, and a chorus going "ow" in four-part disharmony.

But Concert FM has an amazingly narrow and specific view of culture.
Giovanni - I'll do the offbeat.
