The reality is that the internet isn't a good broadcast medium, due to it's one on one nature. If the station's business plans don't work with the medium, well, give it up. Sucks to be them, but internet radio at this point is just another fusker or P2P system, living off of free content from others.

Too bad,so sad... they can go back and figure out how to run a real business.
