"Want to Kill HD Radio?"

"Let's say that radio companies have to start paying royalties on the
music that they play. Even if it is a flat percentage of all revenue
like other outlets are going to be charged, HD Radio streams would do
nothing more than serve to drive up royalty payments for NAB members.
The overwhelming majority of terrestrial listeners ARE NOT listening
to HD Radio. Ads on HD Radio will be dirt cheap for a very long time.
The HD streams may not be able to cover royalty on music from ad
revenues. Do you think that Clear Channel will continue to pump money
in to HD Radio equipment, expanding services and coverage if the
payoff in the end is an INCREASE in copyright royalties and nothing
more?"
