Pandora, iTunes, Spotify, Rdio All Try to Take a Bite Out of Radio’s Dollar


Assessing the ad-supported digital-music-streaming landscape is like figuring out which sets to catch at Bonnaroo. From Pandora to Spotify to Clear Channel’s iHeartRadio to Apple’s new iTunes Radio, there are so many options for marketers. Too many.

Even Rdio, known for its clean design and subscription model, is planning to launch a free, ad-supported desktop version of its on-demand streaming service by the end of the year. “We wanted a perpetual free offering. We’ve seen as the market has evolved [that an ad-supported free service] drives virality and an active user base,” said Rdio CEO Drew Larner.

For the latest generation of digital-music services, it’s becoming clear that paid subscriptions won’t cover content-licensing costs. Pandora, for example, expects 80% of its revenue to come from advertising. The internet-radio pioneer and its brethren hope they can divert a swath of local-radio ad dollars their way. But for that to happen, they have to get bigger in local markets and offer mobile ads tailored to local audiences. Kinda like radio.

The Green Back vs. The Rial

A single banknote can reveal a lot about the attitude of a nation.

From Adbusters #109: The Epic Human Journey: Part 3, Endless Summer


ELLEN LEE

A single banknote can reveal a lot about the attitude of a nation.

Take Iran for example. On each 100,000 rial bill it says: “Human beings are members of a whole in creation of one essence and soul.” Not exactly what you would expect from the most demonized state in the world, yet there it is plain for anyone to see if they want to look.

There is something altogether enchanting in those words, even if the realities on the ground don’t necessarily show it, something that we haven’t had here in North America for a long time. A culture with such a selfless and beautiful sentiment driving its core might actually outlast us all.

So what does our money here in North America say about us? On every American one-dollar bill it says “In God We Trust.”

But really? God? What God? Certainly not the Christian God who commanded us to cancel debts, turn the other cheek, show compassion to strangers and love one another as we love ourselves. Let’s be honest here. The God on our cash isn’t the God of Abraham, altruism, compassion or any derivation of those things. It’s the God of the self on our bills. Greedy. Whiney. Voracious. Selfish. Hungry. Never satisfied. Obsessed with its own importance. The money could just as easily say “ho ho ho.”

We shouldn’t be so sure of ourselves. If we’re going to face the financial, cultural and ecological tipping points ahead we might want to take a moment and consider what we’re worshipping each time we put a dollar on the counter.

Currently, all over the world, every truism, every belief, every foundational precept of civilization is being shaken, twisted and wrung-out in a desperate search for a truth that might keep us from ending up where it is that we’re likely heading.

So let’s ask ourselves: is this the only impulse upon which to build a civilization?
