Broadcasting podcasts? That just sounds strange.

Traditional radio stations have been feeling pressure from MP3 devices, satellite radio, the internet, etc. In a move to try and combat this assault, Infinity Broadcasting’s KYCY AM plans on airing podcasts starting May 16th as reported in the WSJ today.

KYCY — I couldn’t find a “real” web site link — is an AM station based in San Francisco, CA. Podcasts will be broadcast (there it is again) from noon until 8 p.m. There are no plans to compensate podcasters for their shows, but at least it will give some podcasters a little exposure.

Surely this is a sign that podcasting is going mainstream.
