Schult notes, "2023 has been a year of change as AM continues to disappear despite some fighting for it to stay in all cars while FM is trying to find its footing in streaming audio but still just trying to do the old form of radio on a new medium. "Terrestrial Radio had always fended off other forms of entertainment trying to kill it in the past - from television in the Forties, MTV in the Eighties and other audio technologies. But Internet Radio is another thing all together. Streaming audio accounts for over 85% of U.S. labels' music revenue so listeners are reevaluating AM/FM's place in their listening habits and that's a scary news for AM and FM. "The days of AM/FM being King in the Cars is over. Covid, working from home, less commuting and EVs have changed all that. All traditional forms of entertainment and news are dying – Network television, cable, newspapers, magazines. AM/FM is still trying to figure out how to live in an Internet world to retain relevancy and profitability. "With raging inflation continuing and the country literally splitting in half with differing political and lifestyle ideologies, threading one's way through what will work is trickier than it has ever been. Station groups cutting staff and using AI instead along with record labels morphing out, the world of entertainment has changed forever. "We're building select formats that can capture the sound and excitement of live AM/FM the way it used to be but reimagined with worldwide syndication through our Miracle Wonderland Radio Company. "GET's Station Starter services will be 100% Internet Radio. Our proposed community-by- GET is global friendly and initiative-taking in all things media and consulting - involved in book publishing, live entertainment, sound systems and talent product development too. That includes "last mile" services for rural high speed Internet providers as well. We offer various global consulting services ("GET2") that includes introducing parties that have viable business deals with people who can help get those deals funded through GET's network of entrepreneurs and funders. ("GET" and all of its formats, consultation services and programs are servicemarks of Global Entertainment Technology, Inc., © Copyright 2023 Global Entertainment Technology, Inc., All Rights Reserved) Contact GET at http://www.globalentertainmenttechnology.com.
