HD/IBOC requires initial, expensive, and on-going hardware and
licensing fees to iNiquity.


The initial fee is less than your morning personality makes... in a
day or
two. And the ongoing fee is relatively minor.


And the shilling goes on and on and on...


Yes - amazing ! I wonder, what Eduardo get out of this B.S.? This is
fun in a sick way, anyway.


Isn't the firm he works for an Ibiquity investor? As with many things,
one must
follow the money.- Hide quoted text -

Of course, Univison is an investor/supporter of this HD Radio farce,
and that is why Eduardo shills 24/7 for HD radio - he knows that the
radio-geeks need to be convinced first:


As I responded to dxAss, the investment in iBiquity was less than the cost
of a single studio at our LA facilities. In the overall picture, one can
consider these "broadcaster investments" as support for a single-source AM
and FM solution to the qustion of how to "go digital" on terrestrial radio.

"The number of Spanish-language households in Austin [that] have
bought an HD receiver has to be close to zero." (It's worth noting
that Border Media Partners doesn't have Web sites for its stations,
either, so maybe it's not the best gauge of cutting-edge technology.
Spanish-language giant Univision is supporting the launch.)"


Actually, the Jonny Ramírez show on one of our HD2 channels in Austin, and
originated in San Antonio, gets lots of calls form that market, and there is
both advertiser and consumer interest. Since the Tejano fan has no other
choice in Austin, and the music is part of a distinct lifestyle, the early
response has been considerable.
