Is that bad news for Eduardo?

Just getting up in the morning and having to fake it through another
day
is bad
news for 'Eduardo'.

It's not good or bad news. It is one company which wants to further study
and maybe request modifications of night HD. What the bad news is has to
do
with the declining and ageing listenership of AM... HD was a hope that
had a
slim chance of reversing this.


You know Goddamn well this is bad news, because others surely will
follow - there is NOTHING iNiquity can do to change the laws of
physics - if ther ewas, something would have been done before Sept.
14th.


Then the bad news is for AM... its obsolescence is now assured. I'll bet, if
the night issue is either real or is not reparable, that a decent LA AM, for
example, has probably lost $8 to $10 million in stick value because of the
fact that there may be no future at all for them.


Nope, it's bad news for you. The AM stations affected by this last bad
night time experiment probably cost many money though.
