Earth to Radio

Monday, May 09, 2005

Satellite radio broadcasters XM and Sirius won't put traditional radio out of business anytime soon—94 percent of Americans still tune in to broadcast radio at least once a week—but the two companies have doubled their subscribers in the past year and appear to be on a roll. Today, Rolling Stone Magazine's associate editor Bill Werde look at how the medium is evolving and why traditional radio will likely be thriving for years to come.

And, a live performance by the singer-songwriter Raul Midón. The New Mexico-born, New York-based Midón makes his recording debut with State of Mind, a collection of Midón originals that mixes soul, R&B, pop, folk, jazz and Latin. He'll perform live in the studio.
