It's not good or bad news. It is one company which wants to further study

No, news/talk/sports on AM is alive and well - it is the music FMs

The end is near, Edurado - word has gotten out about the HD Radio
farce:

"Is HD Radio Toast?"

"There are serious issues of coverage. Early adopters who bought HD
radios report serious drop-outs, poor coverage, and interference. The
engineers of Ibiquity may argue otherwise and defend the system, but
the industry has a serious PR problem with the very people we need to
get the word out on HD... In New York City, the #1 market in the
country, there are 25 stations broadcasting 42 HD channels. You'll
find CHR, AC, Classic Rock, Hip-Hop, News, Talk, and Sports. In other
words, everything you can find on the regular FM dial... The word has
already gotten out about HD Radio. People who have already bought an
HD Radio are telling others of their experience (mostly bad) and no
amount of marketing will reverse this."

What will reverse your mental illness?

Only news that you had ceased being a racist bigot and had moved to Canada
would make me smile in this ng.

I see. So your state of being depends on what someone else does and not
what you do? Explains a lot.

You know Goddamn well this is bad news, because others surely will
follow - there is NOTHING iNiquity can do to change the laws of
physics - if ther ewas, something would have been done before Sept.
14th.

Eduardo will be along soon with some Arbitron marketing stats that will
PROVE it can be done. When you fake data, misconstrue, and post
non-responses to questions anything is possible.

That was your hope. Stop projecting your absurd ideas and feelings on
other people.

I am telling you the radio broadcast industry opinion, the opinion of the
major broadcasters who invested in iBiquity, the NAB, the FCC and many
others. All of us are concerned with the approaching obsolescence of AM...
even investors, as each AM decline will force potential write-downs of the
asset values of the goodwill of each AM.

You are a jingoist xenophobe, who does not realize that in many places in
the world, particularly 40 to 50 years ago, a test was not a requirement for
a ham license.

Then the bad news is for AM... its obsolescence is now assured. I'll bet, if
the night issue is either real or is not reparable, that a decent LA AM, for
example, has probably lost $8 to $10 million in stick value because of the
fact that there may be no future at all for them.

So, music formats have 83% of the audience? That sounds like very few listen
to news and talk.

In the ages that advertisers want, news and talk have about 10% of the
audience, and if you remove the FM news talk and sports stations, it is down
to about 8.5% of the audience. That is miserable... and shows the only
format viable on AM is slowly declining and rapidly moving from AM to FM.

No, nothing is forgotten. Without a technology advance, AM is on its way
out. When AM listening is now below 10% in many smaller markets, and does
not exceed 20% anywhere (SF, where the market definition is based on the
coverage of three AMs), the issue is that any inability to get HD going,
technically, via marketing, etc., has doomed the AM band in the US:
