A whole lot of stuff about sales and IBOC (by the way, HD does NOT stand
for High Definition, as many here seem to believe. It stands for Hybrid
Digital)

I'm not sure why there is even a discussion about either quality or
selection, since the great masses of youth (the ones being marketed TO) are
sheep. They listen to what they are TOLD to by the PM's at the radio
stations, who, in turn, play what THEY are told to by the recording
industry. The few that actually WANT alternative programming do not
constitute (and never will) a sales pool that will be profitable.

With all the stupid new laws going (or that have gone) into effect regarding
pay for content, many stations' profit margin has dropped significantly. The
recording industry has bitten the hand that feeds it by requiring stations
(ESPECIALLY HD2 and HD3 streams as well as internet streams) to pay
exhorbatant fees for content.
