"Satellite Radio Is Radio"

"Niche formats -- the ones you'd think attract subscribers who'd be
happy to pay for satellite channels -- do poorly. Sometimes very
poorly. Sirius Underground Garage has about 45,000 cume listeners.
XM's Fungus has 44,000. It might be better to turn the electricity off
and save some money. But...the long tail theory applies to satellite
radio as it does to popular music. All those little "low rated"
channels make up what's called the satellite radio audience... Can you
see why radio is on the decline, NPR is defying the delivery system it
is on and satellite radio can't seem to get revved up... Forget HD,
bickering between terrestrial radio and satellite radio, Wall Street
investors and the like (Am I alright? Did I really say forget Wall
Street?)."

Ha! Ha! Eduardo! HD Radio's niche formats will fail!

The #1 radio station in New York has a cume of over 2 million. That is one
station. The daily cume of the two satellite companies is not even 1/2 of
the subscriber base, so about 3 of the top NY stations... three stations in
one market... is greater than the national cume of the satellite stations.

Here's the real question? Can old analog radio survive in a world where a
numerous *of digital platforms provide niche programming? Will an 18 year
old person tolerate the same 300 songs over and over, when they can discover
exactly what they want via the Internet, ipods, cell phones and wimax. The
answer is no! Radio's future HD provides better sound quality but is based
on an old outdated model of analog radio. Will boomers who grew up with
radio still listen? Yes! Will people who grew up with technology (radio's
future) listen radio as we know it today? no! * Do you still drive a model
t, listen to 45's or videos on your watch beta max player.. no.. Things
change and so will radio..and the current radio models (am's fm's) are
unable to adapt to the future. And advertisers will want more
accountability.. that radio today cannot provide.. Radio's last hope people
who listen in the car.. is now being invaded by the internet.. yes folks

The same can be said of Technological Change : Technology
Raises To It's Highest Level of Acceptance Over Time.

True Generational Change usually occurs over a Period
of 16~19 Years : The Time it takes for a bew Generation
to be Born with a New Technology {Change} and Grow-Up
as Natural Users of that Technology.

"HD" {IBOC} Radio is presently going through it's Earily Adapter
Phase.

It will Suceed or Fail with the Public Acceptance of "HD" FM Radio;
and AM Radio will simple be going along for the ride.

=WRT= Old Media {Terrestrial} AM/FM Radio : Significantly
the Age Groups over the Age of 35 Years are still primarily
"Free" Over-the-Air AM/FM Radio Listeners which translates
to a continued Market Share for Terrestrial Based AM/FM
Radio Broadcasters for two to three decades to come into
the future*.
* Yes - AM/FM Radio has a Future as a Business for Many
Years to Come !
