Again, I have no interest in listening to wild shock jock antics like
dropping bra bombs on top of TV stations while trying to coin funny
catchphrases like ³mother hucker² and ³brotherman² no matter how high-
quality the signal is.


As I have been saying. * The problem with HD radio is not a technical
problem. * The problem is radio listenership is aging and declining. *This
is not a recipe for success for *any* business.


The current generations are busy watching TV/DVDs/playing video
games/listening to MP3 players. * Radio is completely forgotten, because it
does not offer anything that can't be had elsewhere without the commercials.
Radio is old school, it is what your parents listen to. * That alone makes
it something to be avoided by kids.


HD has plenty of technical problems. Poor audio quality and poor quality
of service would be two not to mention the analog interference.

younger Generation of Audio Consumers; that simply
does not 'Think' Radio as a Major Audio Entertainment
