Curious twist on Radio and Podcasts
Infinity Broadcasting, a division of Viacom, is converting the format of a San Francisco AM radio station, KYCY, to what is calles “open source radio” that will feature programming contributions from listeners. Specifically, all podcasters are invited to submit their shows for consideration; the station will even pay licensing fees to include some music content. The new stations will be appropriately renamed KYOU. The station will not podcast the shows, or even archive them on its Web site, but neither will it claim any ownership rights. So the contributing podcasters will continue enclosing the programs in their feeds as normal.
