Default "Radio Is the Last Analog Medium Standing"


"Struble: Radio Is the Last Analog Medium Standing"

"Insignia HD — I think this will be a nice little interim step for
jogging or working out. It proves the viability of the technology and
hopefully we'll get sales; but no, this is not going to sell in the
hundreds of thousands... Radio alone — the sad reality of where it is
— as a standalone device, it just doesn't exist anymore as a category.
Nobody goes into Best Buy and says 'Where's the radio department?'"

None, according to Struble!


That's right. Nor are they asking for Shortwave, police scanners, etc.,
etc.

You're saying that there's a business model without goals?


Oh, there are goals, it is not "how many people go into best buy and
purchase an HD radio".-


As was stated elsewhere..people only buy radios when they buy cars. ANd HD
is in more and more cars!

Yea, HD Radio is now "mainstream"!


Amen!
