"Compromise Reached on Near-Term FM IBOC Power Increase"


"Biquity’s Jeff Detweiler said at a Friday session here in
Philadelphia at the NAB Radio Show that both sides can agree on a 6 dB
increase (to –14 dB digital power) as a first step towards a full 10
dB digital rise. IBiquity had proposed such a compromise earlier and
now after completing several studies on the effects of various power
levels, NPR agrees."

"CPB/NPR to Fit Square HD Peg Into Round Hole"


"First, National Public Radio (through the CPB) has already
extensively studied this issue, more than anyone else in the industry,
and the results are pretty unequivocal that increasing the power of a
station's FM digital signal will adversely affect not only its own
analog host-signal, but also those of neighboring stations. So much
so, in fact, that the (first) study's coordinating engineer has
admitted in other fora that an increase in HD sideband power levels is
much more likely to do harm than good."

signals. FM and AM are now trashed - LOL!

Consumers have shown little interest in HD. Power increase? for what?
nobody is listening! Advertisers aren't supporting HD radio! Sure
broadcasters upgrade your signal and blow more investment on a dog..

IP radio is digital and consumers have show more interest being able
to control the content.. they want to build their own playlist.. And
Ip radio works!
