At least one of my local fm radio stations says that their radio station "is now broadcasing in high-definition" on their radio frequency. So what I need to know now is Does anyone know where I can buy a high-definition radio? and how much do they cost? Typical radio promotion gimick. Here is an excerpt from Chuck Blore's future book showing how things were done 'back then' ----------------------- When High Fidelity was a big deal in records, Gordon's stations were all Hi-Fi Radio." "What made them Hi-Fi. Was that just a name?" "Oh no. He always made it seem very special. And very real. When we began promoting "Hi-Fi is coming to radio" all the stations were told to back off the higher frequencies of the actual signal a little bit each day for two weeks. Without anyone really noticing, at least that was the theory, the actual stations signal gradually became kind of dull, and duller. But then, we had the big announcement ... `Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome a new millenia in radio broadcasting. This is K E L P HI-FI RADIO' and with that we slapped all those frequency adjustments back to normal and, Oh God! What a difference." ------------------------- Don't believe 50% of what you hear on radio promos, the ignore the remainder -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com |
