rare.

That's when the magic happens. Otherwise it's just trained monkeys
reading blue cards.

How "magic" is it if nobody shows up?

Very soon you will be in a position to answer your own question.

You mean KOMA in its CHR days?

No. When they were Top 40. CHR sucks.

CHR and Top 40 are the same thing. A trade magazine decided, to
distinguish
its chart from others, to use CHR back in the 70s and it stuck because
nobody in the business side of the industry liked the teen image of the
term
Top 40.

Wrong! CHR is very crossover averse and narrow. Top 40 was the
epitome of ecclecticism and variety.

CHR was the "new" name for Top 40, courtesy of Radio & Records magazine. The
same stations that reported as Top 40 to Billboard and Cashbox and Rudman
and Gavin and Hamilton simultaneously reported as CHR to R&R.

CHR today includes r&b, hip hop, dance, alternative, rock, pop, etc. It has
as much variety as the format had in 1957... maybe more.- Hide quoted text -

"HD Hypocrisy"

"Here's a few more reasons why only iBiquity and a few clueless radio
group heads could make a big thing out of HD radio tagging... The very
damn radio stations that broadcast in HD offer no programming worth
listening to. HD Radio is a virtual sewer of formats owners don't want
on their terrestrial frequencies and other assorted garbage that no
one sane would listen to -- let alone spend money for new radios --
tagging or not."

http://insidemusicmedia.blogspot.com...hypocrisy.html

"And the good ideas keep on coming..."

"So let me understand this... HD radio has been reduced to being a
storefront for iTunes? So I listen to my HD radio, tag the songs I
like, download them to my iPod, and listen to my iPod rather than my
HD radio, right?"

already over-compressed music to make it louder than the next station
on the dial."

I would like to commend iBiquity and the HD Radio Alliance for the
desturuction of AM, all for the benefit of a few thousand local
listeners, if they can even pick up the HD/IBOC signals:

"Here in OC, I found two AM HD signals on the air at 12:15 AM: Our own
KFWB (980, Los Angeles) and KFBK (1530, Sacramento). KFWB is always
reliable during the day hereabouts, and has a non-directional 5,000-
watt signal. KFBK is a 50,000-watt north-south directional, about 400
miles north of here. Now the bad news: no lock on either one for more
than a second or two, although the analog signals sounded fine. And
this time I tried driving around a bit. I got very little other than a
flashing HD indicator. KFWB's sidebands obliterated 970 and 990, and
KFBK'S were doing significant damage to an unidentified distant signal
on 1520 that should have been listenable. This ain't looking too good.
See ya tomorrow night."

I had to laugh when I read this comment:

"WABC 770 HD is on tonight..but fading in and out just 1 mile outside
Queens on long Island."

In the markets where stations provide digital versions of their main analog
signal as well as multicasting in some instances, radio reaches in excess of
95% of all persons.

You may not find anything you like, but most people do.

Going back to the Pulse and Hooper and Trendex surveys of the 50's, there
has always been a percentage of folks who do not use radio... about 5% in
the last 40 years on average, and another 6% to 7% that are very light
users. So nothing, really, has changed at all.
