But now that you mention it, I think the way we listen to it is coming to an end as well. Other forms of radio, satellite radio for example, have changed the format of it all together. There are no longer morning shows or 5 minute commercial breaks, just music after music. Yes, it will still be considered radio, but not the radio that we have come to be used to through our am/fm tuners.

If by radio, you mean audio specifically transmitted over radio waves, then yes, it will disappear. But, aren't your examples of satellite radio, podcasts, and Internet radio just an adaptation of radio. Many radio stations already put there programming on the Internet, either streaming or through downloadable podcasts. Like radio adapted when television came around, radio will be around in different formats. I disagree with your analysis of radio.
