Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
A hurricane is approaching Broadcasters...
Ubiquitous, fast,
cheap, mobile
broadband
Ultra-cheap connectivity
yet powerful
smart-phones and
mobile devices
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Habits are changing very fast, indeed
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Digital Content: Access not Copy. Streams not downloads.
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
This trend will have huge impact on what
‘Radio’ will mean in the very near future
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Tablet Computers & Mobile Devices are also...
Radios and TVs
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
“Broadcast Culture”
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
“Broadband Culture”
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Now in the car, too: limitless choice, deep
personalization, for free, anytime, anywhere
≈ 60 Million users (U.S.)
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Yes: the car was the last safe place for Radio
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Broadcasters must add interactive and on-
demand functionalities and full archive access
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
The Future of Radio is on Mobile Devices
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Social Networks are going mobile, and will become
Broadcasters
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Consumer 2.0 s u m andrnow!
C o n is here e
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
And it’s not just the kids...!
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Context: The Music Industry is going through a radical transformation
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
So what role does Radio play in the Future?
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
The Filter (Radio:) is
just as important as the coffee
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
It’s no longer about “getting it all”
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
It’s no longer about the ‘how’ but the ‘what’
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Not (just) volume but context and relevance
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
In the digital battle for attention,
those that are and remain relevant will succeed
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Fragmentation of listeners will also require
fragmention of programs and offerings
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
It is no longer just access that matters - it’s
Selection. Relevance. Context. Sense-Making.
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
This is the ‘Broadcast Business’ ... really
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
It’s not mere access, volume and
abundance that will win -
It’s relevance and trust.
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
But...
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
...you must add unique values all the time
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Meet one of your biggest rivals
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency

Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency

Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Broadcasting 2.0 means using ‘best device available’
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Radio 2.0: make use of a all available platforms
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Music in the Cloud is finally becoming a reality
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Radio 2.0 requires a standardized, public
license for the use of Music on the Internet
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
Your window of opportunity is open for another 2-3 years.
Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist / The Futures Agency
