It sure looks like a traditional radio station studio, with boom microphones, an audio mixing board, even a glowing “On Air” sign in the corner.
But when RadioBDC goes live at noon on Monday, the station will not broadcast from a radio tower and will not need a license from the Federal Communications Commission. Instead, it will air via an online streaming player on Boston.com, The Boston Globe’s free website, and through mobile apps for Apple Inc.’s iPhone and devices running Google Inc.’s Android operating system.

It's nice that the 'FNX staff and audience has found an alternative. It's not an original idea, though. Doesn't address the real music and editorial needs of the market, particularly the multicultural audience in Boston and on the Web. Even with the loss of Adult R&B and Jazz on Boston radio (WILD, WGBH), folks continue to grind out the same old models, while people deserve and can have much more.

Good Luck - looking forward to listening!
