Default US Broadcasters Missed the Digital Boat 20 Years Ago

They could have built a Eureka 347 type system where everybody has an
equal signal (and the idea of that killed the deal). Than along came
Sirius and XM and suddenly the dinocasters want to ''compete'' with a
horribly bad digital scheme that no one else in the world wants
anything to do with.

Why? So they could have lousy-sounding audio like the European
DAB??? (Caused by using an old MP2 codec at only 128 kbit/s.)

Listeners do not care about the the trasmission medium of analog
versus digital for terrestrial radio - this is why interest is slowing
in the UK, and interest has stalled in Canada and the US.


- The formats are what's driving people away.
- Canned music is ubiquitous.

Canada's CBC does well with the Radio Program "CBC Radio
OverNight" with Five Hours of International World News from
various World Wide Radio Sources.

Some US Based AM & FM Radio Stations should consider
this Format for there Late Night / Early Morning Broadcast
Schedule. Surprised that none of the PBS Radio Stations
have not done this . . .
