Y/OURAdio

Following up on Jay Rosen’s must-read post, there’s Jeff Jarvis on BuzzMachine:

We’ll know we’ve arrived when the people take over that station for real and change the name to OURadio.

At YOURadio, there are still executives picking what goes onto THEIR air.

At OURadio, WE the audience will pick what goes on OUR radio from what WE the producers make; there will be no difference between audience and producer, there will be no THEM: It’s all OURs.

That is where this road is going. And we’re still driving.
(…)
Now we have a newspaper made totally from citizens’ content: NorthwestVoice. We will have a radio station made totally from citizens’ content: YOURadio.com. We will have a TV network made almost completely from citizens’ content: Al Gore’s Current.tv. (And last night on MSNBC’s Connected, I joked that blog TV is next…)

Update:

unmediated: Video phones intereract with TV viewers.
