CHICAGO — Fast-growing online music service Pandora has been touted as the future of radio, offering more than 150 million registered users customizable stations built on individual preferences.

The future of Pandora, however, may look a lot more like "WKRP in Cincinnati," where sales managers in plaid sport coats pitch car dealers to buy radio spots. Hoping to turn an incessant tide of red ink, Pandora has added a local sales staff in Chicago and other major markets to go head-to-head with old-school radio stations for advertising dollars.

"We are now one of the biggest radio stations in every market in the U.S.," said Pandora founder Tim Westergren. "We're actually big enough to really think about ourselves as a local radio (station) as well as a national one."

From Wikipedia:
Frederick Otis Barton, Jr. (June 5, 1899 – April 15, 1992) was an American deep-sea diver, inventor and actor.

Born in New York, the independently wealthy Barton designed the first bathysphere and made a dive with William Beebe off Bermuda in June 1930. They set the first record for deep-sea diving by descending 600 feet. In 1934 they set another record at 3028 feet. Barton acted in the 1938 Hollywood movie, Titans of the Deep.
