There would be no audience statistics that showed whether night HD was good or bad, just as there are none for daytime operation.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - There are no listener or audience statistics for radio stations? How in the world do radio stations determine market share, sell advertising, etc., then? The effect of HD can not be measured; radio ratings vary considerably due to competitive situations, the normal statistical wobble or error of a poll and there is no way to tell which reason of many is affecting ratings. Since the HD1 channel of every FM is a simulcast of the analog channel, there is no way to distinguish it from the analog product in the ratings; AM has no secondary channels so there is going to be no difference in ratings for an HD or non-HD station. So far, in this early stage, there is no measurement of HD 2 channels although in the People Meter, such channels will encode for Arbitron separately and will then be measurable. The point isn't trying to use statistics to point a finger at HD, but rather to use them to determine whether the channels are attracting a sufficient audience. That's all those numbers are really good for. The main purpose of FM HD is to provide digital main channel audio and robust texting; the digital audio is the only enhancement for AM of significance. Simulcasts are not measured separately in radio ratings. What is not significant is your constant pontificating. You realize that you have painted yourself into a corner, either you are for real and look like a complete jackass or you are a faker. I don't know which situation is worse for you but that's where you are at in the news group. If you are for real I sure hope people in your industry don't read this news group for your own sake. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Because Arbitron's simulcast policy is posted on their website, moron. |

I'm sure they don't read this group, as few were ever DXers. That is why I get invited to speak at NAB, RAB, NAB Europe, etc. For the moment, the main advantage of HD is having a digital version of the content on the analog signal: as more receivers arrive, there will be increased interest in the secondary channels, and the use of closed channels for special data delivery applications. That's the entire business model of HD, in fact. |
