Pocket-Radio,

As usually you are 'thinking' inside a Locked-Box of ANTI
{Negative} Free Over-the-Air AM & FM Radio Thinking.

The Future of Traditional AM & FM Radio Stations:

All Terrestrial Radio Broadcasters {Traditional AM & FM
Radio Stations} have to do is to Work-out-a-Deal with
the Cable TV Industry and the FCC [US Congress] to
put Local Terrestrial Radio Broadcasters back-on Local
Cable Networks for Free {The Radio Advertisers will Pay
to Get their ADZ into all the Local Homes in their Area.}
-or- Have the Local Cable TV Distributor Charge a very
'low' $1~$3 per Month Fee.

FREE Local Cable Radio via Cable is much better
than $13 per Month for Satellite Radio.

A LOW $1~$3 Fee for Local Cable Radio is better
than $13 per Month for Satellite Radio.

The Radio Listener 'gets' All the Local AM & FM Radio
Stations {More Content for the Cable Companies} and
the Radio Stations get their ADz on every Set-Top-Box
in the Local Area.

OBTW : Both AM & FM Radio Signal are 100% Digital
-via- the Local Cable TV & Radio System; plus there is
"NO" 10mv/m Contour to overcome {Poor Signal Area}
for the Local Radio Listener for the Local Radio Stations.

speaking positively about free -over-the-air radio ~ RHF
