I don't care, because when I want to do distant listening, I am not
stuck back in World War 2. I am in the 21st century and use the
internet to listen as far away as London or Japan or Australia.



Listening 'On-Line' is not Free Over-the-Air Radio

Yes it is. Just as watching NBC or FOX on your cable is still Free
over-the-air television. They are still sending out their waves to
their local markets. There are still some people watching/listening
to them via the antenna.

d'Eduardo,

Thank You Once Again For Reminding Us

we are just plain old radio listeners

Yes and the sooner you realize that, the happier you will be. You
shouldn't expect the FCC or the National Association of Broadcasters
to care about a hobby (distant AM listening) that only represents less
than 0.01% of the audience.

AM distant listening is even deader. The number of HD listeners
outnumbers distant AM listeners by (approximately) 1 million to
10,000.

Sorry to give you the bad news, but it's true.

Do you think that those kids listening to a ball game from a distant

clubs? Or the trucker tuning across the dial to find something worth
listening to ....


Kids today use their computers to listen to distant stations, not
radio.

Truckers use XM or Sirius, not terrestrial broadcast.

You are living in the past, but everybody else has moved into the
future with Broadband internet, and Satellite. Time to wake-up and
smell the truth.

Most people listening to radio broadcasts do so because they are
looking for content and don't really care all that much how the signal
got to the speaker. Those are the people that broadcasters and
advertisers focus their efforts on.

DX liseners are focused not so much on content as on knowing when
signal propogation conditions will change to allow non-local stations
to be temporarily heard. They are interested more in documenting that
momentary catch than content. As a consequence broadcast stations and
advertisers really have no commercial interest in assuring their
signal reaches DXers.

No, it's not. "Free-over-the-air" is just that...FREE OVER THE AIR.
If you watch
TV on cable or listen to radio stations online, you PAY a monthly FEE.
So, it's NOT free.
Over the air broadcasts are FREE when you grab the signal on the air
with an antenna
and WITHOUT the monthly cable/internet fee. That's free over the air.
Cable and internet
are NOT free.

Just in case you didn't know, satellite is not free either. You pay
the provider a monthly
fee to access their service.

The whole idea of HD radio is ridiculous.
