Well,

Even though its getting on in the evening, I'm not going to send
everyone to an early sleep with a lengthy dissertation as to why I
feel the way I do on this divisive but important subject. That has
been expressed many times by others more eloquently than I can. I
don't expect at this point to change anyone's mind on the subject;
conversely, I doubt any one will alter my
convictions either. The basic fact for us down here is for the past 82
years we have, and still, derive significant revenue from our sky-wave
coverage area and we are committed to protecting that tradition.

I do look forward to the discourse after September 14th when the
evidence and data is documented. I also look forward to working with
our coalition of broadcasters whether it is to find solutions or seek
damages.

What was that you were saying, Eduardo ?

That guy has no idea what he is talking about.

Since WSM ranks 22nd in billing in Nashville, with revenues that are less
than 1/15th those of the number one station, I really doubt that WSM makes
"significant" revenue from skywave coverage. What they may have made 50 or
80 years ago is irrelevant... There is a gospel AM daytimer that bills twice
as much.

More young listeners out the door, and you're doing nothing to stop
it. Soon you'll be all alone with your obsolete technology and archaic
business model, with no listeners around to disturb you.

Well, at least you stuck to the marketing crap in this post.

Better leave the technical things like IBOC or signal coverage to people
that understand the terminology.
