Online Radio Listenership Up 36% in 2008

According to AccuStream iMedia Reseach via Hypebot, online music radio listening hours increased 37.6% to 6.67 billion total hours in 2008. This is great news for the likes of KEXP, WOXY and the Current who have been garnering national listenerships through their website and podcasts.

I, for one, listened to approximately 40% more online radio in 2008 than 2007, so it looks like they did their research.

Top 4 on WOXY right now:
*MP3: Peter, Bjorn and John - "Nothing To Worry About"
*MP3: Heartless Bastards - "Hold Your Head High"
*MP3: The Decemberists - "The Rake's Song"
*MP3: N.A.S.A. - "Gifted"

John Davis of Georgie James and Q and Not U fame has joined WOXY's brilliant empire of online radio. WOXY announced the news on their site:

"WOXY.com is happy to welcome The 1, 2, 3, 4, More More More Show to our lineup. It’s a weekly specialty program hosted by John Davis (Georgie James, Q and Not U) that focuses on classic power-pop, post-punk, new wave, punk rock, indie rock and plenty of the bands of today that are continuing the tradition. John takes requests, so you’ll be able to let him know what you wanna (or don’t wanna) hear."

This is what 1234's MySpace page had to say about it:

"1, 2, 3, 4, More More More is a weekly specialty show hosted by John Davis that originally aired on XM Radio starting in early 2008. After a short break, the show is moving over to WOXY.com and will hit the airwaves/internetwaves in early 2009. We'll post the exact date that we're coming back ASAP. When we do come back, you can expect to hear more classic power-pop, post-punk, new wave, punk rock, indie rock and plenty of the bands of today that are continuing the tradition. We take requests, so let us know what you wanna hear (or don't wanna hear). Please get in touch if there any bands, new or old, that you think we should be playing."
