Radio is great because it moves a lot of listeners at once. The Internet is great because it's so engaging and involving. When you link the two, you often create magic.
And sometimes you also create a revenue opportunity.
Here's one such example with a site called OurStage, which enables music artists from around the country (or around your neighborhood) to compete and be judged by listeners in a scam-proof setting.
Hmm. What happens when you link OurStage to a radio station's audience?
The answer: Your spark some serious listener engagement and you create a sponsorable promotion.

This is a good idea for any station where the audience is keen on new and original music.
