What occurs to me is that, if international broadcasters really do see the
Internet as a legitimate transmission medium, they have to make a quantum
leap in the attention they give their websites. (Yes, that's all one
sentence.)

It's interesting how our expectations have changed over the years.
Back in the day, one knew that Australia and New Zealand radio
offerings were substantially altered during the mid-December to
mid-January period (Roger Broadbent called this period the "silly
season" a while back), but there was no online reference that advised
what was on as a summer replacement.

Now we expect stations' websites to be kept consistently up to date
during special seasons or when special program timings occur.

Just a musing as I contemplate 2010...

0300 replaces lots of different stuff including RNZI produxions.
