These broadcasters are insane to do things like HD/IBOC to
restrict and limit their already-dwindling audiences. They should
be working to INCREASE their coverage area and listenership; not
reduce it.
The only coverage that counts is in their home markets.

DX listeners don't count in the business model.
They never have since the early 50's.

Your only experience with what counts depends on someone with extra time
filling out a diary truthfully and having their circumstance being
actually representative of a desirable demographic rather than the
fantasy many of those people present as you do in this forum.

So KFI's reputation as a powerful station with listeners afar doesn't
help its local ratings?

I don't see how it would. People listen if they like it, not because
someone 200 miles away can hear it (which with the two Mexicans on, they
can't)

One would think that would be less of an issue as one went further away
from Mexico.

People like adopting winners.
