They've missed the boat. With thousands of internet radio stations to choose from, why would you choose to listen to someone who is far too fond of the sound of their own voice babbling on about what they ate last night and other tiresome monologues?
J WAVE is already on the internet with a podcast. Cruise through your Japanese iTunes and you can find it. Basically, it's just their radio program on a podcast. And there are tons more FM stations on iTunes so I wonder what this article is about.
And very few of the young people I ask about FM radio even bother to listen. They download to their iPods just the music they want to hear, minus the cute navigators who insist on talking constantly.
Wow! Now we can enjoy our favorite talking heads on line as well as on the radio. I stopped listening to radio in Japan after InterFM changed their format AGAIN... You'd think that these broadcasters would get the hint when their ratings tell them the most listened to radio by Japan's youth is the Eagle810 on Yokota. And as far as American radio goes thy're pretty amateurish.

Right on. Japanese radio sucks. Too much talk and too little music. God I hate those 'navigators'...
