Podcast Alley Acquired by Podshow(?)

In one of the more low-key acquisitions I've seen it appears that Podcast Alley has been acquired by Podshow, Adam Curry's high-profile podcasting start-up. In the podcasting space this is a pretty big deal since "The Alley" has been a mainstay for podcasters and listeners since almost the very beginning.

I haven't seen anything official-looking from either company yet so it's possible that this is still in rumor stage but based on the links below it appears that it's a done deal:

What will this mean for podcasting? Who knows? I've always been a big fan of Podcast Alley but also have felt that there were a lot of improvements that could be made. Perhaps now they will be. Kudos to Chris McIntyre for all he has done to build Podcast Alley into what it is today. I'll continue to wear my Podcast Alley T-shirt with pride!
