I agree. But I'm old and pedantic for whom the word Radio means on-air broadcasting. I love podcasts and often think, wow, these would make awesome broadcasts. Unfortunately, in the UK at least, VHF FM is, in my opinion, commercial drivel. As is Medium Wave (AM) band - same few media companies playing super safe music and content to fill the gaps between ads. The BBC is closing down MW transmitters and syndicating content to the remaining ones (esp. in the evening) thus loosing local community programs and forcing listeners onto DAB or online.
Yes, radio has gone to shit in the U.S. as well.
Yeah, gave me pause too. Maybe they mean ubiquitous like radio, mainstream like radio.
