Today FM closed down

Media have reported that Today FM has effectively been closed down.

This is sad for two reasons.

The first is that a lot of people are losing their jobs. I know a fair few of them, and they are good people.

The second reason is the fewer media outlets in NZ, the less diversity of opinion we get. I want more media, not less media.

At the end of the day it was a commercial decision of course. Not enough people were listening, which means not enough revenue from advertising.
