You have got to be kidding. For about two weeks I could not get KOH
on
780 until someone turned off their IBOC noise maker evenings.
KOH was never meant to reach Ventura.
Tell Telemon that.


Your model is flawed.
KOH comes in just fine evenings at home or in the car.
And you are likely the only listener for 25 miles around. What a thrill.

Then go join another newsgroup loser. If you don't care about the hobby
then what the hell are you doing here?

Faker.

You and your stupid sock puppets are a waste of time.



Brother, consider his response for a moment, and think about this....

When the tornados blew through Dallas/Ft Worth a few years ago, and
no one knew it, it was because those listening to the radios at the
time, were listening to voicetracked, automated stations that were
unmanned, because...well....profit, you know. Profitable stations survive.

So, the vast majority of listeners were tuned into their favorite
stations. These same listeners, conditioned for the last 30 years, and
trained to listen to 'the only station you'll ever need,' for important
information, especially weather. Hell, I do promos for 20 stations every
year about weather information...and to stay with W/Kxxx for all the
relevant noise...but I digress. These are the same stations that have
adjusted, if not overhauled their programming according to the results
of research that says that busy, productive adults who 1) will NOT
adjust their daily schedule to respond to 'forced listening' events just
because they're on their favorite radio station and 2) will NOT sit
through music/news/sports they don't want in order to hear one or two
minutes of information they DO want.

But, there's a weather emergency....so do broadcasters man the
unmanned stations with weather information? No. They put the information
on the news stations. Expecting listeners conditioned by 30 years of
catering to their desire not to be informed to tune in to the news
stations on the odd chance they'd hear the weather. Knowing by their own
internal and external research that listeners simply don't behave that way.

Interestingly enough, this information was on the News
stations....read that, the AM stations. The very stations that
broadcasters have openly admitted are not listened to after 7 pm. Wasn't
the word 'negligible' bandied about this very newsgroup in regard to
night time AM listening? Oh, yes...David used it himself. Negligible
listening after 7pm. Uh huh....

So, let's review....Storms are inbound. Listening is to the FM music
stations, which are unmanned. Emergency weather information is NOT on
the FM music stations where it had been previously found because there
is no staff to put it there. Emergency weather information is, however
put on stations that music listeners are already known not to switch
to...on the very stations that the broadcasters, themselves know and
admit are not listened to after 7pm.

And here comes David, saying, hey...we had the information on the
air. If they weren't listening that's not our problem. But next time,
we'll put announcements on the unmanned stations to tell the listeners
to switch over to the stations we already know they will NOT switch over
to... and we'll call that serving in the public interest. And still hit
out profit numbers....


Why would you be surprised that he lingers here to argue that what we
do is irrelevant, AND THE PROBLEM with radio, today.


Talking out of both sides of his mouth is a career for him.

You go back to your RX-340, and I'll go back to my RX-350, and we can
both join the rest of us here, who enjoy the hobby. While he ****es up
his rope.
