Ok, that amounts to....... $1333.33 spent for each listener - roughly
speaking of course. � Did I get the math right? � Is that a valid way
of looking at it?.


Now its possible that there are two people listening to the same
radio. �OK......That amounts to.....$666.66 per listener.


Help me out here. �Doesn't seem too successful to me.

According to Hipporadio on Radio-Info, who is in the broadcast
industry annd electonic sales, only 130,000 HD radios sold, minus
returns, "trade" purchases, and giveaways - maybe, the true number is
around 50,000 in the hands of radio-geeks and consumers.



The only people I've read about buying them are station managers &
technophiles.
