"News/Talk/Sports:Radio's Last Bastion"

"Music FMs of any flavor are utterly screwed... Right now -- while FMs
are losing the music audience to new media -- satellite radio is
offering more News/Talk/Sports programming than we can fit on AM
radio... Meanwhile, also at the Consumer Electronics Show, at an event
much-less-attended than the Sirius and XM press conferences, well-
intended radio group executives mumbled through short scripted
statements about commitment to HD radio. They do so in the shadow of
these undeniable realities:

1. It doesn't work at night on AM radio.
2. It costs about $100K per station to convert.
3. Nobody owns receivers; and why would listeners spend several
hundred dollars for an aftermarket installation, only to hear 18
commercial minutes, and not to hear CNBC or 2500+ baseball games?"

"Radio's Deadly Game of "Hi-Lo"

"Radio is no growth industry. It has no future just a glorious past.
Tomorrow's youth wants little to do with it and radio stations have
obliged them by ignoring the demographic."
