"CC Radio’s Format Lab gone?"
November 2008

Let's hear your spin, Eduardo! Wow - 7 left out of nearly 100 formats.
It's over, Eduardo!

The format lab was intended to come up with useful new variations for HD,
once it did, and the formats were developed and put on HD 2 channels,
there
was no need for the development stage. The formats that worked went to FM
HD
channels, the ones that did not were nuked.


There are only 7 CCU HD channels left on clearchannelmusic.com, for
all of CCU's stations. Nice try. All but 7 have been a complete flop.
No incentive to buy a cheesy HD radio. You never did address Strew-
Bull's comment.

That's because there is no need to test reaction on the web... the website
was a lab, an experiment, to see which of at one time over 200 mixes worked
best. They decided, and then the rest were killed when the formats went on
the HD 2 channels. Why spend the money when the purpose of the test has been
achieved already?
