Default Bogus ibiquity and the infinite spin master Struble

Whatever happened to low power hd radios that were just on the horizon
according to ibiquity? Every year we hear the same thing and as usual
nothing materializes. How long will this nonsense continue?

At least when FM came on the scene there were plenty of FM radios to
choose from - so that old and tired comparison from ibquity is
meaningless.

What’s up with that Mr. "Radio Pioneer" Struble?

Eduardo - Any comment?

Why do you keep posting this crap in this newsgroup that is completely off
topic, and that most people are sick and tired of seeing?

Another Google Grouper hits the killfile.


Well elaich, I like to hear from guys like you.

choose from - so that old and tired comparison from ibquity is
meaningless.

FM began prior to W.W. II, and then changed from 47 MHz to the current band
after the War. There were no radios available.

By 1950, there were over 1000 FM stations licensed (source, Broadcasting
Yearbook 1950) yet by 1960 there were only around 650 (idem, '60 edition).
There were hardly any radios available, and the ones that were out there
cost many times that of a common AM radio. That was 20 years after FM
stations began to broadcast.

In 1977, FM surpassed AM in audience. Today, in many markets, AM has less
than 10% of all listening.

Whether HD will work during a recession is anybody's guess. And whether AM
is even worth trying is on many owner's minds. But expecting a change in a
couple of years is absurd.

Satellite is in Year 9 now, and still loses nearly $1 billion a year and may
not survive.

What advantage do broadcasters have over webcasters? Towers.

Nationwide wireless web access is on our horizon, with consumers
receiving content via paid or free access supported by advertisers.
Every radio will be web enabled.

So get ready for URADIO created in many forms and colors. One form
will be commercial broadcasters, competing head on with a guy or gal
creating basement content. Google that!

Eduardo - You're a bit mistaken, at least as far as ibiquity is
concerned. If I recall (and I do), Struble boldly stated several
years back that his hd radio would become the "norm" in a few short
years. Go back through recent radio history and check it for
yourself.

In case you haven't noticed - a few short years have come and gone -
good buddy.

He also stated that when you purchase a radio you would automatically
assume you purchased an hd "digital" radio. Didn't happen - not even
close.

Once again you look at the world in your typical distorted way but
it's always fun talking to you anyway. You do need to get another
profession thought.
