SAP is not a requirement, so the incentive is purely economic: more salable viewership. Since there is no return on investment for English SAP, no station will do it. DE - Once again I will re-post myself : -R- It's not about the Money - - - It's About Fairness and Equality between All Peoples Asian-Americans; Hispanic-Americans; African-Americans and yes even European-Americans. There is no interest, either, in doing SAP to English of the Asian channels in LA and San Francisco. This is not unfair, just realistic. In the 'spirit' of true Bilingualism - It Ought To Be A Law ! A law like that would violate freedom of speech, by saying that if you want to use any language other than English you have to incur additional and considerable expense (Simultanteous translaters run as much as $500 an hour, you know) while English stations do npot have to do this. Clear violation and an impediment to expression. If 5%-or-more of the 'potential' TV and Radio Listeners in a Broadcast Area are English Speakers then By-Law and the SAP on all Non-English Language TV and Radio Stations "MUSH" Broadcast in English the Programming Content. Nearly nobody is going to listen. Imagine trying to do SAP on a soap opera to english... the translation and dubbing of an English aoudio track would cost around $10,000 to $20,000 an hour unless you did all the dialogue in one voice. And then the ads... most creative does not translate at all, and the advertisers woulod be furious. As I said, even newscasts would be $500 to $1000 an hour for one simultaneous translator. And nobody would listen. Total weekly cost: about $700,000 per channel. A FCC Broadcast License 'implies' Public Service and English SAP Broadcasting should be a Mandated Public Service of every Broadcaster broadcasting in any language other-than English. *The Rights of English-Only-Speakers MUST BE PROTECTED where They Are A Minority. Once Again - It's About Fairness and Equality between All Peoples : Asian-Americans; Hispanic-Americans; African-Americans and yes even European-Americans. -Equal Media Access- It's not about the Money - It's about Basic Human Rights For All -including- English-Only-Speakers. How does a classic rock staiton serve me? I hate classic rock, so it does not serve me. But it does serve lovers of that kind of music. Same with Spanish langauge stations... stations were never intended to serve everyone, and the licensee has broad discretion in which segment of the audience they want to serve, and can serve that niche exclusively. PLUS - Just thing of all the New Jobs it would create for Bilingual Peoples especially for those 'whos' Primary Language is English. It would bankrupt stations, and provide no useful service. It also violates the US Constitution quite royally.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - "In-Stat: Digital Radio Set to Take Off" "In 2006, 73 percent of respondents to an In-Stat U.S. consumer survey were aware of HD Radio on some level." http://beradio.com/eyeoniboc/instat-digital-radio-set/ "Sirius, XM, and HD: Consumer interest reality check" (Alexaholic) "While interest in satellite radio is diminishing, interest in HD shows no signs of a pulse." http://www.hear2.com/2007/02/sirius_....html#comments This just confirms, the lack of interest for HD Radio, on Google Trends: http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22hd... =all&date=all For now, HD Radio/IBOC is dead. |

I speak a little Spanish, and I can tell you that, between the bodice- rippers and inane comedy shows and etc., there is little of value there (at least to this gringo). That is precisely why SAP would have no benefit... totally different cultural values. Is it a crime that the rest of the world just wanted to know what your people were saying? It's like your saying don't worry about it, it's none of your business. Then again who cares. LOL |

It is in these areas that Spanish Language Broadcaster should use the SAP Channel and provide an English Language simulcast of the programming. There is no demonstrable demand for english language versions of hispanic, chinese and russian programming. None. Most cable systems have on their basic service over 100 channels of english language programming avaiable now and over 500 channels for those with a lot of time on their hands. Why spend the money on such programming where there is no demand. 2 - Every Spanish Language Program that is Broadcasted should be on the SAp in English.
