iBiquity in financial mayhem
Tuesday, April 11, 2006 at 4:07 PM
Tags: HD Radio I'm hearing some very interesting rumors about iBiquity, the company behind terrestrial radio's savior technology HD Radio (just a little refresher, the "HD" doesn't actually stand for "high definition" - funny huh?). Word has it that iBiquity is experiencing so much financial mayhem that they've stopped all projects, both current and future, and are regrouping or possibily worse. Look, I'm all for competition and all, but with a phenominal tag line like "are you deaf yet?" (listen to campaign spots here and here) who wouldn't bet all their chips on this technology? Thanks Hurricane Ben! |

Thanks Hurricane Ben! Better watch it RF, the newsgroup Douchebag and his associates are wanting to censor what you posted. It's not about shortwave but remember that RHF and Dx Douche will be trying to run you off. However, I'm not going anywhere. |

Clear is cash flowing in a significant manner, and they feel the market undervalues them. That is why they are going private. iBiquity is private for the same reason many companies want to stay private: they do not want to live the quarterly harassment of earnings reports, Sarbox, and running the business to please Wall Street. It allows more long range planning, and less knee jerking to the street. |

These private equity investors are, by definition, NOT public entities. The broadcast investors, in my experience, invested to insure a single technology would be developed, avoiding the multi-technology disputes that surrounded the AM stereo debacle. They also wanted a single system for AM and FM, hoping the developed technology might help "drag up" AM before it became totally unviable. One can almost look at the radio company investments as if they were donations or seed capital; no radio company is expecting a return on these relatively small investments that are, I believe, all less than $10 million each. |

Whether there is enough demand to make HD radio a commercial success is anyones guess at this point. It may end up like satellite radio and never generate enough listeners to break even. Somehow HD radio will have to come up with unique programming to draw listeners away from traditional radio programming. Satellite radio failed with tricks like Howard Stern and they are hemmoraging red ink because of those multi-million dollar contracts. Who knows - maybe extended BBC programming will draw listeners to HD radio. The fundamental problem faced by any new mode of radio transmission is that there is a huge reluctance on the part of listeners to add the required new hardware and subscribe as in the case of satellite radio.
