Experts predict that recent shake-ups in the radio industry will cause the popularity of talk radio to soar to never-before-reached heights.  Recent technological breakthroughs like the iPod, mp3s, and satellite radio have changed the way that consumers listen to music.  As a result, uncertainty in the radio industry is causing many stations to re-think their formats, with the trend moving to talk.  Program managers at FM stations all over the country are replacing music programming with all-talk formats, resulting in an explosion of talk radio shows.  This talk invasion on FM radio will introduce droves of new listeners to the talk format.Satellite radio will also have a profound affect on the world of talk radio as Howard Stern moves his wildly popular terrestrial radio show over to satellite radio.  The move is expected to bring hundreds of thousands of new subscribers to satellite radio and opening up a new chapter in the history of talk radio.  The soon-to-be fierce competition between satellite and terrestrial radio will result in better and more compelling talk radio that will likely expand its audience exponentially.
