"Mike Terry" wrote in message ... March 15, 2005 Mike Rogers The in-home AM/FM radio is already going the way of the 1950's short-wave, And what way was that? There was virtually no short-wave radio penetration in the 1950's..maybe .5% of homes has short-wave reception capability at most. There's never been a significant short-wave penetration among non-hobbyist listeners in the U.S.-- never, ever. That said, yes, there is a possibility that AM./FM as we know it now will go away. It is, in fact, more than a possibility. It's a certainly with time. But who cares? When it does go away, it'll be replaced by something else that serves roughly similar needs and desires and will probably be niftier and more appealing--else why would AM/FM go away? I could not care less if a particular technology goes away. It happens all the time. Now, I'll go away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don Forsling "Iowa--Gateway to Those Big Rectangular States" |
