Also, I find it fascinating that so many people here seem to be cheering
the demise of HD. � As HD goes, so goes radio. � The fact that HD
appears to be failing only reinforces the idea that there is no interest
in radio at all. No one cares about HD because no one listens to
commercial radio any more.


I find this proposition presented in this NG all too often and find it
arrogant and disgusting. �Living in a smaller market, filled with folks
decidedly not in the coveted demographic, we for the most part support,
and appreciate our local AM and non-commercial radio stations and tolerate
the ever-changing FM cacophony; there is no crisis of profitability or
viability in our AM market and if it were threatened you can be sure of
a loud protest in halls of government from our citizens.

Eduardo hates AM radio, because AM-HD has been a failure.
