As to youth, 96% of 12-24 year olds use radio. Less than before? Yes.
But
radio is still a very viable means to reach young adult demographics.-

Yeah, you keep dreaming. I hear that record albums are also going to
make a comeback. lol

Your opinion vs. hundreds of thousands of Arbitron diarykeepers each
quarter.

The "diarykeepers" don't think that record albums will come back?

No, but they are responsible for the placement of most of the $21 billion
dollars in radio advertising each year.

"Cleverness" about record albums (still a term of the trade used by "record
companies" to refer to their product) will not change the fact that all the
recognized data about radio usage today contradicts your totally
un-supported opinions.- Hide quoted text -

"HD Radio vs. Internet Radio - Which is Radio's Future?"

"Of those who were "Very or Somewhat Interested" in owning HD radio,
3% were "very interested". However, with these respondents, we
followed up with the question "Would you buy an HD radio in the next
two months?" only 1.0% responded "yes". Asked if they ever visited a
retail store to look at or try an HD radio receiver, 30 members of our
sample of 3179 said they had. That is less than 1%."

"According to John Blackledge analyst with JP Morgan, Internet radio
advertising is estimated at $500M this year (2007). Bridge Ratings
estimates that by 2020 Internet radio is projected to generate
revenues equal those terrestrial radio acheived in 2006."

A retired person is not employed. So you are unemployed.

No, I'm retired, 'tard boy.

As I said, a retired person (And I said "retired" and not "retarded" which
may be my error) does not work. That means such a person is unemployed.

I'm retired. Get that through your f00kin screwed up fake Hispanic brain.

Yes, but the point obviously hasn't taken hold of you yet because you
still insist on living in the past. AM is dead, so let it go and
embrace newer technologies. I don't think you appreciate the sorry
state of AM programming today.

The AMs with good signals are not dead, and can be enhanced by technology.
The ones with bad signals are, for the moment, surviving in many cases with
brokered or religious shows. And in many rural markets, AMs are quite
viable. But, in the near future, something has to be done to "modernize" the
audio of AMs on the same band the stations are on now; some inferior
stations may die, but AM can be viable for some time with change.

I wish I could make the world's young consumers throw away their ipods
and develop a keen interest in colloidal silver, but I can't. No one
can. I'm sorry, but it's time to modernize.

The reason this type of programming sustains a large percentage of AM
stations today is because AM has lost practically all of its listeners
who are below the age of 50. The younger listeners are no longer there
and this is a fact whether you accept it or not.

That is essentially my point. But the programming, if transported to FM with
better quality, leaps upwards in 35-54 listeners, proving that the main
difficulty of AM is the audio, a problem HD fixes for stations with decent
signals.

I'm afraid you're wanting to apply bandaids to serious wounds. Perhaps
you just don't appreciate the seriousness of the problem. My guess is
you don't believe me when I say that AM has lost nearly all of its
listeners how are younger than 50, but it is a fact. Verify it for
yourself. Young people are interested in ipods, myspace and cell
phones. They're not interested in your colloidal silver and "Amazing
HGH". Whether you like it or not, it's time to modernize.

No it doesn't. A person can retire from one occupation and still be
actively engaged in another.

Wouldn't have anything to do with the whole dial being full of
bloviating right wing programming, would it?

The current programming is the only thing that still works on AM. Talk on
the other side of the spectrum has failed miserably in many, many markets...

What else do you suggest (and i can probably count the hundreds of times it
has been tried and failed for you).

The digital signals are only 1% of the analog - IBOC's coverage isn't
even 50% that of analogs !


Digital has totally different properties than analog. I have seen plenty of
data showing the HD signal, on a 3rd generation receiver, is robust beyond
the "usable" signal range of analog AM or FM, which is the 10 mv/m AM curve
and the 64 dbu FM contour.

It irritates you to be unemployed? Students, for the most part, are
unemployed. So are stay-at home moms, or invalids. You either work or do not
work. Those who do not work are unemployed.
