I don't see all of the shows merging onto one network to be a good thing. Monopolies are never good.

That being said, it *would* be nice to have the shows all having to schedule times that don't overlap or directly compete with each other. While each of the shows is going "hah, we had 40 listeners and you only had 20", the webmaster loses out because he has to choose one or the other.

Carrie - Its not a monopoly. Everyone controls the content of their respective shows. AEBN is just providing the means to broadcast. We are the host. I'm not censoring the shows.

Regarding choosing one show over the other.. that isn't necessary. I believe that shows should be archived. If someone broadcast and doesn't archive their show they are missing 95% of their audience. Very few people have the time to tune into radio shows. The archives allow people to listen when they have time. Archives are key.. I don't even care if the shows are pre-recorded. As long as I get a commercial or two and people hear the name of the company I'll be happy.
