You have no idea, who I talked with
Nobody in management is in on a Sunday morning. That is about the lowest

50. He knew, what he was talking about.
Compared to you, Clarabelle the Cow knows more about radio.
At-any-rate, you let me know,
when all the US and Canadian AMs go dark, because I will only be out
of a hobby, and you will be out of a job, if you are even employed by
Univision.
I won´t be out of a job. AM is a tiny part of our mainland business, and has
no relevence to my emplyment.
AM is decreasing in audience share every year, and it is mostly made up of
over-55 listeners no advertiser wants. It is dying.
*Broadcast radio has not grown in six years and HD/IBOC is
a joke and will not save radio.
FM has grown every year in revenue and the sector I am in has been up an
average of over 6% a year for over a decade.
Consumers have no interest in radio,
especially HD. Even your own peers, laugh at the mention of HD - you
are a joke, and HD is a joke. The Internet is making broadcast radio
obsolete, including yourself.
The RIAA killed the internet as a source of music streaming last week. Even
companies like Pandora will lose twice as much on every user as they can
make in advertising at web-standard CPMs...
HD is ahead of schedule on models, price points and usefulness. Everyone in
management and programming I have talked to is happy with it.
"More on the Copyright Royalty Board Decision on Internet Radio Music
Royalties"
"There are many other issues that will arise once the decision is
released and reviewed by the public. But this decision is sure to
have impact far beyond the streaming world. In the recently proposed
XM/Sirius merger, about which we wrote here, the satellite radio
services were arguing that competition from Internet Radio lessened
any anticompetitive threat from the anticipated combination of the
companies. Similarly, broadcasters have argued that webcasters
provided competition that justified a relaxation of the multiple
ownership rules. If many Internet radio stations disappear after this
decision, these two proceedings may well be affected. Also, if the
Internet does not provide an outlet for new broadcast entrants, will
there be a greater clamor for more Low Power FM stations? These
issues and other ramifications of the decision are sure to follow."

Either way, you are screwed - digital HD Radio will be next, but it
will fail, anyway.
