I didn't direct that comment at you. that_punk_guy asked why they'd buy it if they were going to change it. So, I pointed out that they had it for a while, so it was essentially the same until recently when they decided it would be a good pull-in for new customers.
Anyhoo, radio stations change hands all the time. What they do with the station is their business. There's plenty of stations to go around. I don't think your analogy is analogous :-). You already need special equipment to get streaming audio. But, lets say my favorite station went XM only. Sure, I'd not be happy about it, but it's still their perogative to make whatever decisions about whatever they own. That's the whole point I was making. If they wanna change it, it's theirs to change.
Besides, I'm pretty sure Clear Channel already owns all the stations in town anyway. heh.
