The days of radio being “Theatre Of The Mind” are nearing an end!

The BBC as always are pioneering new technologies, they haven chosen Chris Moyles from Radio 1 for their trial using their Visual Radio Player.

“This allows you to see live video of the show – cut live by Radio 1’s online team plus a load of enhancements such as moderated text messages, a realtime show blog and also song details/artist biog etc which display instead of live video when the songs play. Displaying text messages is also done very well. Commercial operators who make money from texts might want to take special note as this surely encourages shared discussions. Is there room for Twitter in any of this?.”

The evolution is right in front of us!
