Let's say in Anytown that there are 24 formats that could get over about a 1
share.... in other words, the percentage of listening that would get
advertisers results based on enough listeners hearing the message. But
Anytown has only 12 FM signals that do a decent job of covering the market.
So there are 12 viable formats that are not being done in Anytown, formats
that would be salable, listenable and useful.

So, a station puts one of the viable second tier of formats on


Eminently logical. I've already stated this elsewhere, but it's worth
repeating. The Baltimore station has split into 3 sub-channels:
- AOR
- Classic Rock
- Indie Rock

......thus giving listeners more options, more variety, more music.
It's similar to what's been happening to Cable TV the last ten years,
slowly but surely expanding from ~50 channels to ~200 channels. (And
profiting.)

So you've given up any pretense of being an actual user and are outing
yourself as a shill? Most users wouldn't feel the need to change
their alias within 24 hours of first appearing on a mailing list
unlesss they were actively working to get around people's kill
filters.

Most users aren't posting from Google Groups that has a 10 message per
~2 hour limit. I use the second email address in order to get around
that idiotic limitation.

ALSO:

I'm not exactly hiding my identity am I? SFTV_troy.
SFTVratings_troy. It's obvious I'm the same person. ------ If I
truly wanted to hide my identity as you falsely claim, I'd hide myself
better by not using near-identical names. ----- Clearly that was Not
my intent.

first appearing on a mailing list

This isn't a mailing list. This is a Usenet newsgroup. I've been
posting on them since 1988 (rec.arts.startrek, rec.arts.tv), so please
don't compare them to an email list. They have no connection
whatsoever to email.

Post in the clear if you want respect. You are telling me you can't
find a usenet server available to the outside world

No, just to get around killfiles. That's okay, you're covered now.

Typing faster than I think. Don't tell me anything about usenet
unless you predate the Great Renaming -- or if you were on r.a.s., if
you were reading (and encouraging) T. L. from Day One.

I'm currently posting from a hotel (business trip). I have no idea
what the Hotel's Usenet server is, and so I defaulted to using
Googlegroups. Perhaps you know of a free server that does not have
posting limits?

BTW:

Having multiple email accounts is no different than having multiple
phone numbers. It's not a crime.

Oh. Gee. I really care.

Not. Go ahead and block me. I don't give a rat's ass.

A puny set of choices indeed compared to what internet radio yields.

A mere hiccup compared to what internet radio offers.

Look I have no qualms with Internet Radio. I listen to it half-a-day,
every day, at work. BUT it has one serious flaw:

- It doesn't work in the car.

And I spend a LOT of time in my car (roughly 1.5 hours a day), thus I
like to have available to me either Analog or HD Radio to help pass
the time.

Pretty clueless of you to compare cable to radio broadcasting.
