"CLEAR CHANNEL PULLS THE PLUG ON SOME HD RADIO STATIONS"

"After conducting a survey of 340 HD2 stations to determine their
programming needs, the folks at Clear Channel have dumped a number of
their HD 'Format Lab' stations due to a lack of demand."

Yea, there's a real demand for HD Radio - LOL!

This is not a question of lack of demand for HD radio....just a lack of
demand for the formats that were nixed...like the all-polka channel.

(CC Calls each of the formats a 'station'.)

In rality, the formats will be repalced with more mainstream formats.

More "mainstream" formats.... that's industry speak for more
rap/hiphop/gangsta/dancedance/urban/.....

In other words, more of the same old crap that you can hear more than
adequately on your $10 pocket radio or $20 boombox, without paying out a
****load of money for a piece of IBOC battery-eating trash that won't pick
up anything without an external antenna anyway..- Hide quoted text -

BAD - Yeah that's about it. ~ RHF

Same could be said for the $3K Bose Sound System too.

An IBOC HD-Radio with a Docking Station for an MP3
Player, iPod, or an Memory Chip Slot will be the 'bridge'
for many younger Radio Listeners.
