The band may remain, with niche formats and ethnic and religious offerings, but it wil capture maybe 4% to 5% of all listening, and very little revenue. It's the programming stupid, not the audio quality: "Creating the Future of Radio" "After all, digital sound quality is not what's driving Satellite and "digital" per se is not a consumer benefit. The text services are interesting, but will not be unique to HD Radio. The ability to record our stations only matters if we offer content worth recording. And when every station becomes several stations we are buying more shelf space, but it's on an infinitely larger and more competitive shelf." http://www.hear2.com/2005/04/creating_the_fu.html Ever wonder, why 15 million listeners are willing to spend $15/month on Satellite Radio, and that the majority of Ford's now have factory- installed Satellite Radio, that Ford's premium models (which constitute 40% of its sales) will have STANDARD Sync, that Hyundai gave up on HD Radio and now have standard Satellite Radio. |

I understand 100 miles. I can get San Diego FMs all day long. Just nothing from Mount Wilson, 23 miles away. |

It is the music FMs that are screwed, not the 50kw AM news/talk/sports stations. The "HD" AM-BC crowd just don't get it.. AM radio is doing better than they think it is. I listen to AM more than I do FM. Lots more... I like listening to the talking heads, call in shows, etc on AM radio. If I want music, I plop in a CD... I don't listen to much music on the FM band, because they usually don't play what I want to hear. I'd rather choose myself via a CD disk, and I bet many others are the same way. Either that, or they use sat radio.. Very few people could care less about the audio quality of the AM band. It's quite good enough for the usual purposes. Another thing... I drive on the interstates a lot.. And I usually listen to AM, because of the increased range. I can take my usual 450 mile trip to Studio O, and listen to two stations the whole trip. Both are 50k clear channels. Attempts to spice up the audio quality will be pretty much a waste of time. Being most of the programming is speech, who cares about a roll off of high frequencies that aren't needed anyway... A lot of truckers still listen to AM. A lot of WBAP's commercials are still aimed at truckers as an example. Most truckers couldn't care a whit if the talking head in question was high fidelity, when that higher fidelity is overkill for the talking head programming. They would prefer the signal they have stays stable for a couple of hours or more.. IE: clear channels.. I view HD-AM in a similar light as BPL... If they can't use the technique without trashing other license holders of the said spectrum, they should cease and desist such behavior. It does bother me that some car companies are already pushing these "HD" radios. It's like subsidizing the mess in a way. It's all about making the $$$ these days, not what people want or need. Or should I say "hopes" of making big $$$... I'm starting to think the head honchos at the FCC are all surely going brain dead. They sure bend over easy for anyone with delusions of high tech grandeur and big $$$ to be made. |
