Sure, it takes more power. But the overall cost to a station is a tiny
fraction of a percent of its operating budget. Same goes for equipment. If
the cost is significant, 1) the station can not and won't be able to
compete
with better financed stations and, 2) the station should not consider HD.
HD
is for significant players in significant markets.


Nope - Citadel is rumored to be turning it off due to electrial costs.
Otherswill follow as they go Chapter-11.

You just made that lie up. No truth whatsoever.


BTW - the NAB has only the support of 135 House members, and less
than 25 in the Senate for the Local Radio Freedom Act, which would
have blocked the RIAA. Too bad, far from having any sort of majority-
vote. So Eduardo, what are the new news/talk/sports formats that
Univision will be putting on their FMs? LOL!
