The investments by the broadcasters are minor, and were kind of seed
capital
to get the larger investment bankers and private capital sources to
finance
the development of HD. The likelihood of any gain from this pales
compared
to the cost of converting stations, developing second FM channels,
marketing, etc.

But you're still gonna make a $ or two, right, shill?

No, we are not. Radio revenues are declining, not increasing. we are looking
for ways to sustain the business model. I don't think HD will be a profit
center for at least a half-decade, if not more, and that will nonly be from
the new HD 2 channels.
