FM HD in its current form will likely survive it's unlikely AM HD will fail.
Since FM HD in its current form will likely survive it's very, very
unlikely AM HD will fail. Since both systems were hatched by iBiquity they will both be force fed to the consumer untill such a time, in the future, when the FCC sets a date for the end of analog radio. There will be no FM HD without AM HD ....period. And this will happen. There will be no turning back. So all of us who have loved traditional radio are out of luck. It's that simple. The days of listening to a distant station coming via the ionosphere are over - at least on the standard broadcast band. There will be no more 50KW blowtorches and AM radio will essentially become all local. It's sad to see another pleasant thing pass due to out-of-control technology. |

You may well be right that AM IBOC will spell the end of analog AM, but it seems even more likely to me that, if AM IBOC does come to rule the AM BCB, then the AM BCB is doomed for purely commercial reasons. I'm sure that AM IBOC stations understand that they're not going to take on their FM counterparts. The only thing that will change in an AM IBOC world is that the audience will become exclusively local and all of the infomercials will be broadcast in high fidelity. It's hard to imagine a more efficient means of commercial suicide. |

I'm not so impressed with ibiquity. They've screwed up more than they've succeeded. Their biggest success, self-promotion, has cast an ironic light on their shortcomings. If ibiquity is going to wait it out, it's going to take money. Were's that money going to come from? From broadcasters who have to keep paying -- right now -- for the promise that significant numbers of listeners will someday strart trickling in? Or will the money come from a turnaround in sales of all those expensive HD radios? There will be no FM HD without AM HD ....period. Why not? HD needs radio sales to have a chance. Consumers have a long track record of preferring cheap radios. Most people don't think a HD radio is worth one or two hundred bucks more than a regular radio. But plenty of people will chance it for five bucks. And FM-HD is stronger than AM-HD. So it would make perfect sense for ibiquity to offer a bargain basement FM only IBOC chipset. Why not? Oh, I get it. It's that "perfect sense" part. And this will happen. There will be no turning back. Let's hope that ibiquity sees itself in lockstep with the inevitable march of history. There's always room for more inflexible knotheads in the dustbin. So all of us who have loved traditional radio are out of luck. It's that simple.

The status quo is doomed, whether it's from IBOC or individualized media or whatever. Frank Dresser |

FD The vast majority of Consumers buy Low Cost Kitchen Radios and Bedside Radio Alarm Clocks. All The FCC Had To Do / All the FCC Has To Do is Mandate that All 'new' Consumer and Automotive AM/FM Radios sold in the USA are IBOC {Analog and Digital} Compliant by a Certain Date [.] Then over time IBOC will be forced upon the Consumer and Automotive Drivers. IMHO - It is Automotive Drivers via New Car/Truck purchases that are 'naturally transitioned' into New Radio Technologies. An IBOC "HD" Radio in every Car/Truck for Drive Time Radio Listeners to Listen To : Will Get These Radio Listeners To Want An IBOC "HD" Radio In Their Homes and At The Office. IBOC FM "HD" Radio 'fits' the FM Radio Band Plan and should be accepted by Consumer over time as a better mode of Radio Enjoyable FM Radio Listening. IBOC AM/MW "HD" Radio does not 'fit' the AM/MW Radio Band Plan and may fail; without a major revision to the AM/MW Radio Band Plan : * Fewer AM/MW Radio Stations with the Migration of most of the AM/MW Band Radio Stations to the FM Radio Band. * Greater Channel Spacing : 25 kHz vice 10 kHz * More Uniform Digital Broadcast Signal Power for all AM/MW Digital Radio Stations 500 to 2500 Watts (1:5) vice the Analog scheme of 1000 to 50,000 Watts (1:50) Note this puts the Locals at 500/1000 ~50% of their original Analog ERP -and- the Clear Channels at 2500/50000 ~ 5% of their original Analog ERP making them Regional Broadcastes.

Doesn't IBOC use digital technology developed by Texas Instruments? How come, three or four years later, TI hasn't already started making the low power chipsets? iBiquity is in the development, not the chip business. I know ibiquity only developed the chips, but calling them ibiquity chips is a reasonable sort of shorthand. It's like all those Celene Dion CDs at the record store. I can't really blame the manufacturer. The license fees are not as high as people think for the third party fabs. I think ibiquity's fees have accounted for the bulk of the price difference between a standard radio and a HD radio. And wouldn't Texas Instruments get an even lower licensing fee than Samsung since some of the technology is already owned by TI and TI is one of the buddies in the HD radio alliance?

Nothing wrong with my reading comprehension since I did not read those posts bozo. The posts I read spoke of portables back in 2006. Nobody with any actual knowledge thought there would be portables in 2006. In a luncheon address to the Program Directors and Managers I work with, in 2005, the CEO of iBiquity stated that there was no chip capable of portable usage and that there were no portables in the immediate future. This was the story everyone in the industry heard, so nobody in radio was talking about portables in '06 as there were none, none were planned and the HD system was not even approved.. First, the FCC had not approved HD. No company was going to take the risk of spending on a chip design which would be useless if the FCC did not approve; many were worried the FCC might change the standard, requiring chip revisions. Now, they can safely proceed. The moist significant development is the entry of Samsung, the largest consumer electronics company in the world. This pretty much guarantees lower prices and broad availability of chips and, consequently, radios. |

Nothing wrong with my reading comprehension since I did not read those posts bozo. The posts I read spoke of portables back in 2006. Nobody with any actual knowledge thought there would be portables in 2006. In a luncheon address to the Program Directors and Managers I work with, in 2005, the CEO of iBiquity stated that there was no chip capable of portable usage and that there were no portables in the immediate future. This was the story everyone in the industry heard, so nobody in radio was talking about portables in '06 as there were none, none were planned and the HD system was not even approved.. First, the FCC had not approved HD. No company was going to take the risk of spending on a chip design which would be useless if the FCC did not approve; many were worried the FCC might change the standard, requiring chip revisions. Now, they can safely proceed. The moist significant development is the entry of Samsung, the largest consumer electronics company in the world.

Typical news item... there are dozens to be found searching on Samsung +ibiquity +hd... Samsung developing new chipset for HD Radio Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 9:49 AM Samsung said they will introduce a new low-power, low-cost chipset for HD Radio receivers. These new chipsets will be an important step in the development of portable HD Radios. Samsung figures that samples of the chipset will be available before the end of the 2007 - and production anticipated for the first quarter of 2008. The low-power, high-performance chip will be capable of supporting all current and planned HD Radio technology features. It is being designed and manufactured using advanced technology and features a System-in-Package (SIP) module and a CMOS, mixed-signal single-chip tuner. Target HD Radio applications include: mobile phones, portable media players, portable navigation devices, table radios and home audio-video components. If HD Radio is able to integrate into mobile phones and portable media players before satellite radio does, then we have no one to blame but ourselves. |

That's weird. I wonder why he'd yank your chain that way? He was probably just joking around. iBiquity never made claims about portables. The first mention has been in the Samsung press releases about low cost low power chips. Nothing was said in '04 about portable devices except "we hope they can figure this one out." This is incorrect. A great deal was said and the expectation was that they'd be available very soon. Then you will have no trouble producing a link or two. Not according to Samsung. They predict that the chipsets will be very expensive indeed. No, they don't. Actually, they do. Like nearly all your recent posts, you show that you don't understand the radio business model and are lying about the technical issues of HD. For example: Samsung developing new chipset for HD Radio Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 9:49 AM Samsung said they will introduce a new low-power, low-cost chipset for HD Radio receivers. These new chipsets will be an important step in the development of portable HD Radios.
