And each one of these projects tried to capture that possibility and market it to the world. Because, as you’ll see, the web offered new possibilities, a way to experience radio that was personal, something not at all possible with its analog predecessor. But as time went on, and the web matured, the way that looked and sounded evolved. Take a radio station, or a few of them, or hundreds of them, and put them online. The common thread here is radio on the web. Capture that market, own that market, and you may just be the next big thing. A first step into the age of algorithms we currently find ourselves in. Radio was the first step into a multimedia web. And before radio media on the web was extremely limited and limiting. Radio on the web sounds a bit old fashioned, especially when you consider the petabytes of data streaming through Netflix’s servers. All of them ended in an anticlimactic fizzling-out save one, and the circumstances of that last one aren’t particularly virtuous. Instead, I’m going to take a look at four websites. This post doesn’t include every instance I found. Which is why it surprised me when each story I found reached its peak with an effort to overreach in an attempt to capture as much of the market, only to fall short. I’ve been at this a while now, so I typically have some idea of the general trajectory of things. I started looking into the history of Internet radio from more or less a blank slate. With each time came a new innovation, and in most cases, a new way to fail.
