I hate paying for cable TV... And I've toyed with the idea of just
watching free over the air television.

But then I think, can I really live without CNN, Speed Channel, Scifi
and History Channel? *It’s a tough choice and I guess not..

If I could find this content on free TV, I'd give up cable at once!

Hello this is what's missing from HD radio! *Playing more of the same
hits or simulating news talk on HD is a waste and doesn’t motivate me
to buy another radio..

I'm stuck with cable tv because I can't find the content I want
anyplace else..
If HD broadcasters offered content worthwhile and not found anyplace
else i;d have to buy HD..
I mean content that everyone is raving about and has self generating
buzz.

"So bottom line, the Format Lab is no longer available on the web and
has cut some of its formats down to the most successful/desirable. The
www.iHeartMusic.com website seems to only list the main audio streams
of CC stations--not multicast HD formats--but does offer a few off to
the side: erockster; Pride; Verizon New Music; Smooth Jazz; Real
Oldies; Slow Jams and New Country. There used to be something close to
100 formats listed on the site."

"Bonneville pulls iChannel Music"

"Bonneville has pulled the plug on its iChannel Music HD Network and
streaming. For the most part, it has replaced the HD multicast with
WorldBand Media content (brokered ethnic programming). iChannel
allowed indie bands to upload their music online for consideration...
We commend Bonneville for giving it a shot—it allowed radio to expose
a lot of new, unsigned indie bands from around the world. CC Radio's
eRockster HD2 format is still around at a good handful of stations and
still outstanding. If that gets shuttered, a good bunch of us just
might be done with HD Radio listening altoghether."
