THE MOVE TO SUBSCRIPTION
In recent years WorldSpace has evolved its business model with the
introduction of subscription. Even as early as 2000 the company was testing
audience acceptance of subscription satellite radio with limited national
and regional offerings in India, South Africa and Europe.
In early 2004, WorldSpace introduced the Home Team Radio and Brits Abroad
subscription offerings aimed at American and British expatriates. This
subscription model is now extending and will eventually cover all the
channels available on WorldSpace.
The model for subscription radio is establishing itself as one direction
for the delivery of multiple channels of digital radio to listeners. In the
US, we see this with the success of both Sirius Satellite Radio (which
carries WRN) and XM Radio, as well as the AOL Radio player and mp3 download
sites like audiofeast.com.
We understand and appreciate that for some listeners the introduction of
subscription will be unwelcome and may mean that they decide not to
subscribe to keep listening to WRN via WorldSpace Satellite Radio. We hope
that many of you will keep listening. Please send us your thoughts and
opinions about this change to letters@xxxxxxxx
We will be issuing more information next week. (WRN Newsletter)
