I have no idea, how Univision could put up with someone, who spends
24/7 on message boards, or maybe he doesn't even work.
I don't know how long it takes you to think through a brief response, but if
I sepnd 30 minutes a day on Usenet, that's a lot. Last I checked, most
people have 2/3 of the day and all the weekend free to do whatever they
want... or about 128 hours of free time a week.
His sole
existence in life is to try and make others miserable
.... no, only to those who post material that is not factual, such as your
mistaken claims that AM news / talk stations get higher rates than FMs or
that AM in general is prospering.
- this IBOC
shill would love to put an end to SW and AM DX'ers, to the sole gain
of HD Radio/IBOC.
This is the first time SW has come into0 the argument. I think SW of its own
is dead in most of the world, and is certainly, being skywave based, not an
apprpriate medium for HD.
AM DXers are now very few in number, and hardly have any claim to skywave
service when improving hte viability of AM at the local level is concerned.
Hey, it's a hobby, not an essential service.
To his displeasure, SW and analog AM will be around
for many years,
SW stations numbber perhaps half of the level of the 70's...
AM is dying. In Canada, they have reduced the station count by nearly 60%.
South Africa has no AMs left, etc. The listenership in the US dis down to a
small level, mostly composed of people over 50. Folks under 40 very nearly
do not listen at all to AM.
as HD Radio/IBOC is failing on AM, and will just end
up being a niche market for radio-geeks.
Actually, the viable metro signals will all be HD. It does not matter what
the marginal signals do, as they represent no listenership.
Here is an interesting on-
going poll by BMW owners, who are interested in buying either Sirius,
or HD Radio:

This shill realizes that for HD Radio/IBOC to succeed, in part, he
needs to convince the radio-geeks - you would think by now, with all
the hatred towards IBOC, he would have gotten a clue. He spreads the
sames lies on radio-info.com.
HD was just launched in 2006... and we all believe it to be a multi-year
building process, not a quick fix. It may never fix AM, however, as the band
is nearly dead.
