Unfortunately it might also be one of the reasons why none of these companies has found a way to live from that audience so far ? Entrepreneurs should be passionate about what they're doing, but it isn't always enough to build a company. Having someone on board with a bit more set-back about the topic is a good thing. “One of the reasons that Internet music streaming services Pandora, imeem and Last.fm have been able to build large audiences is because they are run by people who have a passion for music.”

Goom Radio has a great potential of being the best internet radio on the web, beating their competitors such as pandora. They obviously will bring on independent music very soon into their program, however mainstream music is still the big thing. MG Siegler, stop trying to be the poser you are and pretend you actually listen to indie music. Your most likely an old hag still secretly listening to Britney Spears and Beyonce in your closet.

Sounds like someone's ego needs to be checked and the value proposition needs to be restated. Ad delivery has become a necessary evil, how/when will someone deliver ads that are expected and enjoyed rather than tolerated. The only place it works is during the Superbowl where ads are anticipated. just curious if a key avantage the company should touting should be less about the executive team and more about the product, technology or the impact they expect to have.

I think management experience from Clear Channel can only hurt. Clear Channel radio is just such a crappy product. I think Clear Channel will eventually be killed by internet radio once Wi-max or something similar becomes widespread. Completely agree.
