"Big changes are happening to the airwaves, part of the frenetic technological revolution that's been unleashed by the development of a digital language. Radio, against expectations, is proving itself a vital force in these times, because it's flexible, adaptable, and still compelling. The human voice, the imagination of sound, will endure when perhaps TV will fade out, evolving into another kind of internet exchange."

-- Kate Chisholm, The Spectator (London), 26 March 2011.
