MORRO BAY, CALIF. — When it comes to voice-activated devices and audio content consumption, there’s pretty much a guarantee that a consumer who asks to listen to a particular radio station’s stream will access it easily. And, access to that stream could be anywhere within the country, such as listening to a Townsquare Media-owned Top 40 station serving suburban Philadelphia while on California’s Central Coast.
In the U.K., streaming commercial radio stations over smart devices is just as easily accomplished. But, protecting that connectivity is a paramount concern among legislators, and they’re doing something about it.
