We’re pretty excited (and so are you, by the looks of things!) about what’s going on at 2oceansvibe Radio and it’s always encouraging to hear stories confirming we’re on the right track. Like the fact that the FM signal in the UK is being shut down in five years time and the fact that the new Mini will have built-in internet radio.

New Mini Countryman (in SA soon) With Built-in Internet Radio

Now whilst comparisons have always been made between internet radio and its similarities to the early days of satellite radio (and, in particular the most famous DJ in the world, Howard Stern’s move from terrestrial to satellite) it seems our boy (Stern) has decided to keep with the times and is set to move over to internet radio!

Check it out:

There’s buzz around the Internet that Howard Stern will leave Sirius XM at the end of his $500 million contract at the end of this year. Stern has hinted at ending his run with Sirius and turning to the Internet as his next frontier. He’s not alone. Dr. Laura Schlessinger recently announced she will leave terrestrial radio at the end of the year and has hinted that she may head for an Internet based audio platform where she can “say what’s on her mind”.

Howard Stern
The most famous DJ in the world..

Howard Stern is arguably the most popular, most listened to radio personality ever. His move to satellite radio revved up Sirius and enabled them to eventually win the battle against XM and gobble them up.

Rumors that he’ll move his show to Internet radio next are exciting. Internet radio could provide a multi-media platform that would be entirely compatible with his larger than life image. Imagine Howard Stern apps, streams, in-studio videos, side channel audio and video programming, all wrapped into one online platform.

Very exciting indeed, especially with his new URL, HowardSternInternetRadio.com – it looks like it’s pretty much on!
