Huh? We are trying to preserve the value of tens of billions of dollars

The truth is more along the lines of "We are trying to make a quick

There is no way to make a quick buck in radio. If you know how, please
illuminate us. Otherwise, do what you keep telling me to do: stuff it. Your
defense for soing nothing is based on a total lack of facts, no alternate
plan, no alternatives. You just criticize what is being done, yet have no
suggestions... just invective.

That's more than you have, Sunshine.


This is how AM radio in the Western Hemisphere and, probably, Asia is
going
to be. If you think reality is in disagreement with your interests, don't
blame me. Go see a psychiatrist.

If you're right, then the decline of AM will go from rapid to greased
lightning.

Since HD does not interfere with existing AM listening in analog, try
explaining this one, too.


It does interfere with existing AM listening, nutsack. Maybe you should
actually turn on a radio one of these days. You've apparently never
heard one.



I'm pretty sure that "putting down" refers to the interests of folks in
this newsgroup. You might want to read the next post you reply to. That
said, HD does not even promise to keep AM viable. It is simply an
alternative form of death. Face this simple fact and pull your fat
little head out of the sand.

Proof? This is like saying in 1960 that FM stereo will kill FM.

No. Not at all.

Existing
receivers are compatible, and those with new receivers get a better quality.

The losers: an tiny handful of DXers on AM, and a very few listeners to
distant signals. The DXers will adapt (just as they did to 24/7 schedules in
the 50's and 60's) and the distant "regulars" will have to go to satellite,
streaming, etc.


A tiny handful of people who appear to have you worried enough to keep
coming back to this group again and again and again. You sure seem
preoccupied with this unimportant group.
