Yahoo Broadcast to Drop Real Support?

from the that-would-be-big dept

This would be a big deal if it’s true. Apparently, Yahoo’s Broadcast.com is telling broadcasters that they’re going to stop broadcasting in RealAudio format and only use Windows Media format. Somehow I don’t think this will go over too well. It’s going to upset a lot of users (not necessarily because of an anti-Windows sentiment) but the confusion and problems it will cause.
