Not to put you on the spot but in your estimation how successful of a
year was it for iBiquitys HD radio?


More and more stations are turning it off. WTIC just joined the crowd.


AM is dead, the prime formats moving to FM.


"News/Talk/Sports:Radio's Last Bastion"

"Music FMs of any flavor are utterly screwed... Right now -- while FMs
are losing the music audience to new media -- satellite radio is
offering more News/Talk/Sports programming than we can fit on AM
radio..."

Somebody read the ratings backwards. Most of the loss of audience is on AM,
not FM.

And satellite is in such dire straits that new subscribers are fewer than
the churn, and the concept has not made money yet... and likely won't. Who
cares what they offer?
