IBOC : Bonneville Corp Launches New FM HD-Radio
HD2 Network Featuring World Band Media
-was- Eduardo - Bonneville pulls iChannel Music ! LMFAO!!!

D'Oh ! 'little myopia minded' PocketRadio,

How is this bad news for FM HD-Radio and HD2 Channels.

1 - They had an un-profitable HD2 Network featuring
their own {Bad} Programming.

2 - They replaced that with PAID "World Band Media"
(Brokered Ethnic Programming) on :
Chicago at 101.9 MHz on HD2
Washington D.C. at 103.5 MHz on HD2
Salt Lake City at 102.7 MHz on HD2
St. Louis at 101.1 MHz on HD2
Phoenix at 92.3 MHz on HD2
THAT ADDS UP TO FIVE [5] HD2 Radio Stations
On-the-Air and Five Additional Revenue Streams
for those Five 'Local FM HD-Radio Stations and
the Bonneville Corporation.

* FM Radio is about business,

PocketRadio -Think About It- 250 Major US Cities of
100K Population Combined into the Top 100 Metros
and each of thems being serviced by an HD2 Channel
on FM HD-Radio featuring "World Band Media" driving
the Adoption of HD-Radio in the Ethnic Communities
of each of those Metros : Thats 100~250 New Profitable
HD2 Channels adding to Profits of 100~250 "Local"
FM HD-Radio Stations and their Corporate Media Owners.
? How Is That Bad News for FM HD-Radio ?
-ps- IT AIN'T [.]
--- Yeah it is bad news for us AM/MW Radio and
Shortwave Radio DXers.
-but- Very Good News for FM HD-Radio and their
HD2 Channels and the US Media Corporations
supporting HD-Radio like Bonneville.
