Thought this was worth a mention. I’m a huge fan of the concept, and recommend to all my students that if they make radio programmes, they should submit them for peer review and possible broadcast here on PRX.org

Wow, I had been thinking of undertaking something along these lines, but prx.org exceeds my expectations in terms of sophistication and complexitiy particularly with regards to the royalty payments. Congratulations on raising the bar for me

Coupled with Transom.org (which I learnt about from this site) it seems that both existing & new channels for public radio type internet broadcasts/podcasts is at least theorectically addressed.
Increasingly with such a rich variety of content available via the web at a price of either nix, or next to nix, I see it is no longer the economy of money that is my key consideration, it is increasingly the economy of my time.
I am curious to learn what impact the developing utility and richness of the web particularly in changing the means by which society seeks out new music, is having on OTA broadcast radio.
Are the numbers of listeners to radio down relative to the population? Has this had any impact on the rates that commercial broadcasters have been able to charge advertisers and the viability of commercial radio? Similarly what impact(s) if any has the change had on royalty payments from radio to the music industry?
Are there other relevent dimensions that ought to be considered?
