@62kgw: CBS Mystery Theater in the 1970s comes to mind, but it was a throwback to the old days after a period of no radio drama/comedy/soap/adventures.

CBS carried on daytime network radio programming until about 1970. KOIN was the local affiliate. I just read the link and it has nothing to do with "old time radio".

The author of the linked article was using the term "Old Time Radio" to differentiate over-the-air broadcast radio from non-broadcast media, such as podcasts/iTunes and from newer audio broacast media, such as Internet streaming and satellite radio.
The article made the point that over-the-air broadcasters are poorly poised to adapt their program offerings to Internet streaming because "the model is broken." After reading the article, I couldn't figure out what the writer throught was "broken" about the current radio broadcast model. I can speculate, but that is not the point.

The author might have been more accurate in saying " The model is breaking " or " The model is quickly disappearing" . Broken implies past tense and with finality, and we know that is not yet the case.

Agreed. The article gave the impression of not being a finished piece of work because he glossed over details like these. When I read the phrase "the model is broken," I came away with something different: I thought that he was trying to say that radio station management is ill-equipped to handle changes in technology and listening habits. He should have stayed away from this "model" business and elaborated on what he really meant.
