Boycott HD Radio!

1520, KOKC, used to get into Hawaii at night. They were the only rock
station at night where I grew up, in suck-ass Scottsdale.

You mean KOMA in its CHR days?

No. When they were Top 40. CHR sucks.

CHR and Top 40 are the same thing. A trade magazine decided, to
distinguish
its chart from others, to use CHR back in the 70s and it stuck because
nobody in the business side of the industry liked the teen image of the
term
Top 40.

Wrong! CHR is very crossover averse and narrow. Top 40 was the
epitome of ecclecticism and variety.

CHR was the "new" name for Top 40, courtesy of Radio & Records magazine. The
same stations that reported as Top 40 to Billboard and Cashbox and Rudman
and Gavin and Hamilton simultaneously reported as CHR to R&R.

CHR today includes r&b, hip hop, dance, alternative, rock, pop, etc. It has
as much variety as the format had in 1957... maybe more.- Hide quoted text -

Jesus - that crap on clearchannelmusic.com/hdradio makes me vomit - I
listen to my own "personalized" music on slacker.com. Most of the ****
on the HD channels is just vomit that stations don't want to run on
their main analog channels:

"HD Hypocrisy"

"Here's a few more reasons why only iBiquity and a few clueless radio
group heads could make a big thing out of HD radio tagging... The very
damn radio stations that broadcast in HD offer no programming worth
listening to. HD Radio is a virtual sewer of formats owners don't want
on their terrestrial frequencies and other assorted garbage that no
one sane would listen to -- let alone spend money for new radios --
tagging or not."

"And the good ideas keep on coming..."

"So let me understand this... HD radio has been reduced to being a
storefront for iTunes? So I listen to my HD radio, tag the songs I
like, download them to my iPod, and listen to my iPod rather than my
HD radio, right?"
