Fractured? WBBM's IBOC (QRM) signal renders 790 unlistenable here.


Most likely the 790 signal is not supposed to cover your area with a
listenable (and thus protected) signal. If you are referring to the 790 in
Saginaw, it is not protected to Grand Rapids.

That's reality, no matter which way you decide to slice, dice, or spin
it.


Yep, radio is moving on. You aren't.


That's where you're wrong. We are moving on. But not to your QRM generating
three channel wide garbage that it takes a $300 radio to hear at all (and
that's only if you have a large antenna or are within sight of the towers).
We're moving on to Ogg-Vorbis, mp3, etc., where we can provide our own
selections of music for hours on end, and without your 15 minutes plus of
commercials per hour, and without paying $13 a month for a sketchy satellite
signal. Radio is dying, it's commiting slow suicide. Sad to see it
happening, when I was growing up, radio served it's audience.. now it only
serves itself, and does a **** poor job of even that.


....the audience is leaving. Will the last one out please turn off the
noise generators?

Good post. Good luck convincing Peter...
