Just getting up in the morning and having to fake it through another day
is bad
news for 'Eduardo'.


It's not good or bad news. It is one company which wants to further study
and maybe request modifications of night HD. What the bad news is has to do
with the declining and ageing listenership of AM... HD was a hope that had a
slim chance of reversing this.


HD wasb a hope that you and your puppetmasters would line your pockets
at the expense of AM broadcasting and AM listeners.

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.- Hide quoted text -

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.


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.- Hide quoted text -

If its obsolescence is assured, it's people like you who assured it.
You wasted valuable time giving AM a digital facelift when what it
needed was programming angioplasty.

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


"News/Talk/Sports:Radio's Last Bastion"


"Music FMs of any flavor are utterly screwed... Right now -- while FMs
are losing the music audience to new media -- satellite radio is
offering more News/Talk/Sports programming than we can fit on AM
radio..."


http://ftp.media.radcity.net/ZMST/daily/IS031005.htm


"News/Talk/Sports Tops Radio Formats, Interep Analysis Reveals"


"The latest share numbers place the News/Talk/Sports format at the
top, pulling in an average of 17 percent of listenership among persons
age 12-plus, based on Arbitron figures for total radio listening in 92
continuously measured metros. That share number is even higher than
levels seen last spring, when the war in Iraq began. According to
Interep, more stations than ever are programming News/Talk."


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.- Hide quoted text -

"Because of lackluster performance, limited benefit, and reports of
significant interference to other stations, please reinstitute daytime-
only procedures for IBOC-AM...."


You forgot something, dirtbag!


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:- Hide quoted text -

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.


Absolutely pathological... there is no record of you ever having a valid amateur
radio license!

I still maintain that all AM plants should be sold to local owners that
actually WANT to do with the stations what is SUPPOSED to be done with them.
Serve the public interest! I would personally love to be able to operate a
station this way, with possibly a minimal profit, but in the public
interest, as a public service. And not narrowcast to only certain
demographics. Small town radio was done this way for many decades, and
obviously was able to make a profit and stay on the air.

The problem with radio in the US these days is it is done the same way the
Koreans do small businesses:

If one new business (say, a store selling cell phones) does well, then 10 or
more duplicates show up (this happens often even in this small town). Of
course, the town can't support that many cell phone stores, so most of them
end up going out of business. US radio is doing precisely the same thing: a
format does OK, so you have several stations in a market that pick up the
same format. This makes none (or perhaps only one) really profitable.
