"Editorial: More Than Half Full"

"AM-HD continues to fight uphill. Several manufacturers showed
impressive new transmitter models designed to optimize and maintain HD
performance. Yet the growth of AM-HD stations coming on the air
appears stalled and we hear murmurings about some broadcasters pulling
back on AM-HD or wishing to renegotiate their commitments with
Ibiquity. That does not bode well as the AM service struggles to
remain relevant."

Just in from RW. Of course, RW's snivelling little implication that HD
will somehow save AM - oh please, AM is dying, even though ratings say
otherwise for many of the larger AM stations (not directed at you,
Bob). �Of course, FM is under attack by iPods, etc, and in five years
when iPod jacks are standard in every new vehicle, what is FM going to
do. Oh I know - FM-HD to the rescue! So, HD was supposed to bring
analog into the new digital age, but I guess that will only apply to
FM. So much for any potential HD mandate (oh, I guess the crooked FCC
could mandate a technology that doesn't work). Broadcasters must be
getting tired of paying those on-going fees to iBiquity, with no ROI.
Dah!
