“…In the mid-1990s, it seemed that Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) would be the radio of the future (Lax et al 2008;Shaw 2005), but the development of digital terrestrial radio has, in fact, come to a standstill. According to Bonet et al (2009), this situation can be explained by factors such as broadcasters' doubts regarding the Eureka 147 standard (the technical name for DAB), the economic cost, the appearance of new radio stations with no broadcasting experience, the lack of synergy with sectors such as the automobile or consumer electronics sectors and the lack of real demand from society. But while digital terrestrial radio continues to wait and watch, digitalization allows radio content to also be disseminated through other platforms, such as the Internet, satellite and mobile telephony.…”

a two-dimensional approach to the study of podcasting in spanish talk radio stations absTracT Over the last decade, technology has transformed traditional radio broadcasting, not only as a mass medium but also as a cultural industry. Podcasting has been adopted by broadcasters as a useful tool for radio on demand. For broadcasters, it also offers the opportunity to explore new formats and new radio content and the possibility of reaching listeners in new ways. This article discusses the use of podcasting by the main radio networks in Spain. It is based on a quantitative study amongst broadcasters, focused on those chains that have adopted podcasting to offer some of their conventional broadcast programmes. The aim of the present study is to establish which elements of programming and business strategies are motivating the use of podcasts by these radio stations. In addition, this article also provides a first approach to the main genres and programmes supplied in this format.

“…Most stations saw little return on investment and were reluctant to increase expenses for digital-only channels without any prospect for additional revenues: Simulcasting (i.e. simultaneous transmission via FM and DAB/ DABþ) would almost double the transmission costs (Bonet et al, 2009). However, some broadcasters saw potential for an increase in the actual number of commercial stations, which offered further scope for expanding their channel portfolio and extending their brand.…”

Radio is on the brink of a digital wave brought about by the introduction of digital audio broadcasting (DAB+). Despite market success in a few European countries, there remains little evidence of industry support and consumer demand. By means of a stakeholder analysis, the article identifies the main stakeholders in the implementation of digital radio in the region of Flanders, to recognise tensions between public and private interests and to discuss possible government policies aimed at promoting the standard among all stakeholders. By seeing DAB+ as a systemic innovation, it offers a structural approach to address the ongoing dynamics of the organisational and institutional system around DAB+ and other media distribution technologies in other European markets (or beyond).

“…Determinar que el conocimiento y la cultura serán fuente de riqueza convirtió las TIC pero también la cultura y la comunicación en general en elementos contables. Aunque en menor medida, la radio ha visto su cadena de valor atravesada por la digitalización y la aparición de una miríada de alternativas que amenazan su statu quo, al igual que lo hizo en su momento el DAB, aunque no por los mismos motivos (Bonet et al, 2009). Por la parte de la radio digital (DAB), la amenaza ha quedado detenida de momento pero internet y la universalización tecnológica la han obligado a cuestionarse su core business y de qué manera debe rediseñarse su cadena de valor.…”

“…Aunque esto, por ahora, no tiene la más mínima importancia. Recordemos que según el estándar elegido, digitalizar el medio radio puede implicar un cambio de paradigma, es decir, un cambio de las estructuras industrial, económica, social de uso y consumo y política que forman parte del marco que sustenta una ventana de oportunidad para cualquier tecnología (Bonet et al, 2009).…”

Las claves de lo que será la radio española en el futuro hunden sus raíces en el pasado y dependen en buena medida de la capacidad de transformar ese pasado en una ventaja más que en un lastre. Este artículo repasa lo más destacado de las últimas dos décadas de la radio española para determinar qué es nuevo y qué no lo es, con el fin de no dejar su futuro en manos de profecías autocumplidas. En el marco de las aproximaciones teóricas conocidas globalmente como constructivismo social de la tecnología y a partir de cinco parámetros de estudio (que incluye marco legal, tecnología, programación, financiación y estructura empresarial) el artículo reflexiona sobre los colectivos sociales en manos de los cuales está el futuro del medio. Palabras clave Radio, España, constructivismo social, path-dependence, tecnología.
