Default IBiquity - Where's the "HD" in "HD" radio?

Jamming other stations with fat sloppy digital sidebands is indeed
'taking away' those other stations.


These "other stations" that you mention being taken away are not
stations that were ever protected in your area.


These stations were never meant to service your area. *Radio signals go
on virtuallity till infinity. *We have not protected stations to
infinity.


It's a cost vs. reward scenario. *There are a few DX-ers who might not
be happy....but many more reap the benefits of HD radio.


Some of don't live in cities. We are involuntary DXers.


Where is this that you don't have any local radio service?


Again...it may disurb a few DX-ers...but brings much funtionality and
potential to the state of broadcasting.


A few whiners...but the majority get better radio.


The "majority" couldn't care less about IBOC. The radios they have work fine
for them (or used to, before IBOC started up, or, rather, before, in the
case of AM radio, when they backed off the fidelity to that of a
telephone....) *Young people don't listen to the radio anymore. They have
their iPod's and other such digital media players that are used far more
widely, and they don't have to put up with commercials. For us boomers,
radio is becoming a medium that simply ignores us and doesn't program for or
to us, and so is committing a slow suicide.- Hide quoted text -

D'Oh ! -if- AM/MW Radio's Audience is mostly
over the Age of 55 Years : Program for Them
and Find Advertisers who want to Sell to Them.
