IBOC : The Killer-App for FM "HD" Radio's HD-2 Channels

Joe,

You just point-out one of the two natural Killer-Apps for
FM HD Radio's HD-2 Channels : TV Audio {Sound} !

The old AM/FM/TV Radios used to provide TV Audio for
those who wanted it at Work where they could not be
seen to be watching the TV. �The TV Audio was limited
to the Analog Sound from UHF Channels 2~13. �Plus
many Work Places restrict what you can Hear and See
on you Office Computer. {At least in writing : Work Rules.}

Next Year in FEB 2009 : Analog TV Audio will be Dead.

What Audio Source Do the Average American Audio Consumers
"Listen To" more than AM/FM Radio : TV Audio Sound !

The FM HD Radio Station's that put TV Audio Sound on
their HD-2 Radio Channel have an Instant Audiance for
a Known Audio Product that many Audio Consumers
Want-to-Hear : When theListeners are away from their TVs.

Plus TV Audio is an Audio Product with a Proven
Advertising {Revenue} Base to Build-on and Expand.

Plus Plus + The FM HD Radio Station's that put TV Audio
on their HD-2 Radio Channel have Expanded TV Audio to
the Automobile ! - This is a Drive-Time Audiance that both
TV Stations and Advertisers will Pay-For.

Foreign Languages :
For People like d'Eduardo who are in the Specialize Spanish
Language Broadcasting Business : There is even a greater
'potential' for TV Audio Sound being the Killer-App for their
FM HD Radio Station's HD-2 Audio Content. �As well as
'other' Non-English Broadcast Languages on TV and Radio.

NPR and PBS :
Putting the Local PBS TV Station's Audio Content on the
Local NPR FM HD Radio Station's HD-2 Audio Channel
is a Win-Win Formula.

Reasons for putting �TV Audio Sound on an FM HD
Radio Station's HD-2 Audio Channel :

1 - It Is Already There - It Exists and Does Not Need
to be created. - No Extra Programming Required.

2 - Very Low Cost -ps- It's There Already.

3 - It Already has a Proven Audiance Base : Who Know
and Like It as an Video-Audio Product.

4 - It Already has a Proven Advertiser Base : Who Know
and Use It as an Video-Audio Product to Reach Customers.

5 - I Builds Listenership Overnight : Both the TV Station
and the Radio Station Promote the HD-2 TV Audio Sound
Channel for the TV Channel.

6 - Puts All HDTV Stations both VHF and UHF on an
Equal Footing for TV Audio Sound via the Radio.

7 - Expands TV Audio Sound to the Automoblie during
Drive-Time and all Hours 24/7

8 - Makes TV Audio Sound Truly Portable : Jogging, Bicycling,
the Gym, Sporting Events, Campling, etc.

9 - If Radio -is- content, Content. CONTENT !
Then TV Audio Sound -gives- Radio : content, Content. CONTENT !

10 - Often there is an Existing Corporate Connection already
in Existance for the Local TV Station and Local Radio Station.
Working Together is a Done Deal.

yes - another great idea from the brain of . . . ~ RHF
�.
=PS= The 'other' Killer-App for the FM HD Radio Stations
is a No Brainer Too. It is already being done on a small
scale -and- IF done on a Large Scale with the FCC's
Approval : Could change the face of Radio Boradcasting
in the USA.

- A local TV station here has made its switch to digital.
- One of its digital TV streams is a 24 hour news stream.
- The audio from this stream is also simulcast over a local
- over the air AM Broadcast station, kind of merging the two.
- Which begs the question........."Is it real or is it Memorex".

- Consumers want audio and video - LOL!

IBOCcrock,

Hello - Video was not an Issue when you were Touting
your "New Media" Technology Web-Radio and iPod.

Audio and/or Video are both subordinate to "Inter-Active"
which allows the Listener / Viewer to become a participant
-versus- passive recepiant of what they Hear and see.

READ - Is HD-Radio "The Answer" to AM/FM Radio's
Youth Erosion Problem ? - "NO" The Answer is . . .
Inter-Active Web-based Content Driven Radio Programming.
