"Left in the dark"

"Local ratings show that plenty of Pocono listeners tune in to AM 770.
But about two weeks ago, WABC radio became impossible to hear in the
Poconos after sundown. And although the daytime signal is still
strong, WABC it is not likely to he heard here in the dark again. What
happened. An advancement in broadcast technology. WABC flipped the
switch for HD Radio. Something many stations are doing with, so far,
little notice from the public."

I'm surprised that he hasn't jumped in here, screaming that no one
matters outside of protected contours.

No, the PD of WABC already said it.

Interesting that the daytime signal can be heard, but no nighttime
signal - anyway, I emailed the article to WABC, not that it matters...

Phil Boyce, PD of WABC, which just had the second highest book in the last 7
years, already said it did not matter.

Good - he has just ****ed off all of the "don't matter" listeners in
the Poconos! No wonder, your arrogant industry is headed into the
toilet!

The shame of it is that the media companies that own the AM stations don't
really know who listens and from where. So much for interesting and
expanding program base.

So much for the Clear Channel concept which would be very useful in the case
of REAL NATIONAL EMERGENCY. Considering that most of the AM superstations
can cover at least half the country if not more, I wonder what they will do
if TSHTF.

I'm certainly not waiting for it or hoping but you know, I find it ironic
that they are going to **** can AM clear channel broadcasting. Especially in
the light of Hurricane Katrina and every other disaster that has hit the
country over the years. I wonder if these useless *******s have ever
considered the national emergency scenario.

Like the case in New Orleans where some of the best information transfers
and information clearinghouse came from WWL 870. Which to Mr. Dwardo can be
heard over a great deal of the country. I'm sure that doesn't matter as
profits reign over the consumer or people in general.

Interestingly, they use statistics that say that their listenership base is
this or that. However, I wonder if they really know how many outside of the
major metros listen to night time AM. I don't care what some so called book
of statistics says because statistics can say anything you want it to.

However, I find it blatantly stupid to sabotage one of the greatest means of
long distance communication we have in this nation which is the clear
channel broadcasting system.

I guess it helps the media conglomerates and the government in that they
can centalize information further. That way if TSHTF no one knows when the
satellite dishes take a hit from Chinese space missiles or some other
country using an EMP device.

I wonder what the people will do for information if the worst case scenario
happens and we have to rely on the FM broadcast network which is laughable
at best. I guess after getting slammed by terrorists, we can all find a talk
show or some blatantly stupid program to listen to instead of things that
really matter like the safety of our country. It is about like the 2003
power outage in NY and a lot of the Eastern parts of the country. I wonder
if Dwardo has a plan if something like that happens on a larger scale. I'm
sure all those set top satellite boxes, TVs, and all will be usable in a
power outage of any magnitude.

I guess when we burn those bridges to analog AM clear channel broadcasting,
we can rely on the HD Radio to carry us through. I hope it never happens but
with the state of the world these days, it would be best to be prepared. Not
to mention keeping an SW radio around with batteries, solar power, etc. You
just don't know. But I am sure that Frackelton has thought this out prior to
his rah rah pronouncement of the greatness of HD Radio.

Book? Edweenie, you're stuck on stupid and locked on dumb.

And, your lecture is getting kinda old.
