Despite the claims of my wife, I do get to be right once in awhile. A few months ago, I wrote about bruising staff cuts at CBS Radio (history repeated itself this week at the CBS-owned TV stations) and mentioned that the big corporations responsible for fucking up the radio industry could be its savior if they wished. CBS took a couple of baby steps toward that as they've launched some interesting new programming that's as "out of the box" as anything ever on radio.
How about psychic radio? Yup. It's online for now at http://www.psychiconair.com/ and is designed to be run on a stations' HD2 (or 3) channel. It's live, too. Really.
CBS also has a "Pride Radio" HD2 channel that's running in Chicago and Dallas that I know of. Look for it to expand in 2008. HD Radios are getting cheaper and better-click on the radio at top of the page to get one and check out the neat stuff on HD2 and HD3 channels.
Mad props to CBS for actually trying something new and different on the radio dial. Whether it works or not is another matter, but its damn nice to know they're trying.
