and KRLD Dallas and some stations in Shreveport and Fort Worth and

Even your fellow IBOC shills know AM-HD is dead - From Mike Walker
avsforum today:

"rwagoner we probably won't get to know. The AM System ain't exactly
setting the world on fire because you can't use it at night, and it
causes massive adjacent channel interference. Add to that the fact
that it reduced audio quality for 100 percent of the CURRENT AM
audience, and why would we even consider this turkey? As for turning
off analog, why EXACTLY would you do that, when it's analog AM, the
oldest and most robust of mass electronic media, that EVERYONE can
receive, and that can be relied upon to be ON THE AIR, and offering

Even your fellow IBOC shills know AM-HD is dead - From Mike Walker
avsforum today:


The viable stations in the top markets are almost all using HD on AM. The
others don't matter.

"rwagoner we probably won't get to know. The AM System ain't exactly
setting the world on fire because you can't use it at night,


AM listening at night is insignificant, even lower than FM listening at
night. It does not matter...

and it
causes massive adjacent channel interference.


.... to stations that are not being listened to anyway.

Add to that the fact
that it reduced audio quality for 100 percent of the CURRENT AM
audience,


Many engineers, including Bob Orban, have shown that most consumer radios
are down 10 db at 4 kHz, so reducing the bandwith makes most of these sound
BETTER.

and why would we even consider this turkey?


Because, below around age 45, AM is pretty much dead, and above age 55, it
is not salable.

As for turning
off analog, why EXACTLY would you do that, when it's analog AM, the
oldest and most robust of mass electronic media, that EVERYONE can
receive, and that can be relied upon to be ON THE AIR, and offering
LIFE SAVING INFORMATION after a disaster?


Actually, today, FMs are less vulnerable to disasters than AMs

HD is analog / digital compatible, just like FM analog stereo. There are no
immediate plans to go all digital. It is not DRM. In fact, I have never
heard any broadcaster even discuss truning off analog.

Do we really want to turn
off analog, and leave the poor, aged, and infirm who can't afford the
latest digital doo-dads, or maybe don't even know about them, with no
source of emergency information????? There is no higher calling (in
radio) than providing emergency information...to EVERYONE!"


Again, this is not part of future planning at the station level.

WLW comes in loud and clear in Columbus. They're on HD too, one of the
three HD stations you can get with the supplied indoor HD antenna.

I never listen to WLW, however. It seems to be aimed at some other
demographic.

The other two being whatever they're calling 1230 now. Used to be
WCOL ; and WOSU 820. The latter stays on HD well after dark, I'm not
sure how they justify that.

You can pick up WJR 760 Detroit HD with an outdoor antenna.

You can hear other HD hiss but not pick up whatever is causing it in HD.

Running Google Trends for just "HD Radio" shows an upward swing during
the 2006 HD Radio ad campaign, but now the graph is falling steeply.
The graph looks impressive at first, but when compared to Sirius and
XM that interest becomes almost a flat-lined:

http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22hd+radio%22

http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22hd... =all&date=all

Now, watch when I compare "HD Radio" to iPods/MP3s:

http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22hd...o=all&date=all

HD Radio, Sirius, and XM are now juist blips on the screen !

Alexaholic confirms Google Trends:

http://www.alexaholic.com/hdradio.com

http://www.alexaholic.com/hdradio.co...om+xmradio.com

Like it, or not, HD Radio is just about dead, and that goes for HD-AM.

Like all AM news / talk stations, its audience is getting older. At some
time, it will be predominantly over 55, and they will lose their revenue.

You are only looking at total audience, over age 12. Advertisers do not look
at that figure... they look at mostly 18-34 and 25-54 ages, and never the
over 55 group. Ageing demos is what is moving news talk formats to FM.

Furman was a minor part of WLW. Over half the AQH listening of WLW is to
Burbank, and his loss is not easily "fixable" because he so overperforms the
station average. Once he is gone, many people will have no reason to go to
AM any more.

That is 12+ (all ages). Advertisers do not buy 12+, which is why Arbitron
gives the data away. Stations pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to
get the specific age groups, because advertisers want 25-54 and its subsets,
not the 55+ AM gets.

No stations are ranked even close to WLW AM


In 25-54, there is a virtual three way tie for first. Half the WLW audience
is over 55, and useless for sales. And, aside from WLW, there is no other AM
station in the top 15 in Cincy.

- funny, I checked New
York, for example, and there are a bunch of AMs in the top rankings

In 25-54, there is no AM station until you get to #15. The first 14 stations
are all FM. While the #1 station has over a 7 share of listening, the
highest rated AM has just a 2 share.

As usual, you are full-of-**** - be AMs naysayer so this

Your argument just turned and bit you. My whole point is that AM is becoming
a band only for old people, one that advertisers have no interest in. You
tried to prove something with figures that are meaningless, 12+ ratings. And
the fact is, advertising is not sold on 12+, it is sold on 18-34 and 25-54

can not reach their most desirable consumers on AM.

I promise all of you, that when I can no longer AM DX any stations

Your argument just turned and bit you. My whole point is that AM is
becoming
a band only for old people, one that advertisers have no interest in. You
tried to prove something with figures that are meaningless, 12+ ratings.
And
the fact is, advertising is not sold on 12+, it is sold on 18-34 and 25-54
adult demos. AM is dying because the listeners are too old and advertisers
can not reach their most desirable consumers on AM.


AM will be around, until after we are gone.

WGN's revenue dropped so much in 2006 that it put the whole Tribune company
in jeopardy and triggered a call for buy-out offers.

Precisely the arguments used by AM broadcasters to deflect concerns
about FM in th 60's.

Nothing will bring about change in Radio faster than the argument
"Ain't happening."

Heck, doesn't the Tribune Company only own *one* radio station? That being WGN.
Most of their business is *publishing* which represented 74% of revenues in
2006.

It's not about them going dark. It is about them becoming irrelevant due to
the age of the listeners, the move of news talk to FM, and the change of
mmost AMs to niche programming that is religious or narrow ethnic in nature.
