Could ASOT's discontinuation be a big blow to trance?

I gave this some thought and wondered. Armin used to hold ASOT once a week for 2 hours and thousands of listeners from around the world would tune in for that time period.
On an average, Armin would play atleast 6-7 new tunes/week and that indirectly means he was promoting 6-7 artists per week. Not to mention, the tremendous amount of support his label provided signing artists off these very forums such as Mike Foyle and Vadim Zhukov to name a few.
In short, the global exposure that trance music got whilst ASOT was around was tremendous. Granted that a lot of this exposure was the same formulaic style of trance, but to a new listener it was just trance and to the rest of us just 'ASOT'.
My question is:
Globally,trance is already in a sad state of affairs. It is not a thriving genre. It is a surviving genre powered by the DJ elite and the budding artists. The tremendous ASOT exposure is now temporarily non-existent.
I feel that this could be a BIG blow to trance music in the long run. Possibly to the point of near extinction. Think about it ppl. |

some wierd people think that the more people that listen to trance the crappier it gets. e.g., if lots o peoiple like a song, then that song was produced for the masses, much like sandwiches.
armin will be back with a similar, don't worry. |

i think that van pushes a good point
however, i don't think this would be the end to trance, but, at the very least, a slight dip in it's history |
