Many radio stations already have streaming capability and if you already have XM or Sirius, you can usually stream those too.

If I’m not mistaken, that time could be now." Well, actually, not now -- and not even close. In U.S., for example, over-the-air radio reaches about 97 percent of Americans every week, and most of those people every day. Only 75-80 percent of Americans have access to the 'Net, and about two-thirds of those people ever use Internet radio. The notion that "nobody listens to the radio anymore" is common, but wrong. For better or worse, practically everybody listens to the radio -- in terms of audience, there's no contest yet. “a time when streaming Internet radio is listened to more than conventional AM/FM radio.
