katlaughing - I had a feeling my Mudcat Radio idea was not an original one. Sounds like it was good stuff.

I wonder if the economics of radio broadcast are such that it cannot be profitable *and* aesthetically pleasing at the same time. I mean, not all the world has the same tastes as Mudcatters. ;) If most people want to listen to Britney and Justin Timberlake -- and if any successful commercial enterprise succeeds by giving most the people what they want -- then maybe eclectic radio *has* to be non-commercial. It's the age-old battle between art and profits. Thoughts?
