Isn’t something bound to change because you can watch television on a computer and a computer doesn’t need a licence? True, and you can also listen to radio on a computer, not just BBC radio but radio from all over the world. But online is a two-way trade. There is a computer programme that Global Radio, (owners of Classic FM, LBC, Capital, Heart and many another) use, one that pinpoints where (in Europe, the UK, a town, a village, a car park) we are listening online to their stations and for how long. It’s amazing, a tool to show presenters, hour by hour, who they are talking to and advertisers, second by second, who they could be reaching. Advertisements pay for programmes but the price has to be right.
