Yupper - there she goes!
Actually, no stations ceased HD broadcasting; a few have had different
formats put on the HD2 channels based on listener response.

There are no "Format Lab" stations.

The "Format Lab" is a development center in San Antonio where different
concepts are streamed and the ones with the most hits and longest
listening
spans get put on actual radio stations. The ones that don't attract
interest
are nuked and other ideas tried; it's an ongoing process. The idea is to
create new content for HD that has not been found on radio up till now.

As I said, the format lab tests "what if" formats for possible use on
terrestrial radio. They evaluate the formats by hits and length of each hit
and return hits from the same user. The formats that don't work are
periodically flushed and new ones are developed and tried.

The nature and number of the formats on the Format Lab page has nothing to
do with the operation of the terrestrial stations, analog or otherwise, run
by Clear Channel.

STUPID ****ER!

The truth hurts, huh?


His eloquence knows no bounds.

Eddie - You sound like one of those detached radio general managers I
talked to a few days back. Full of BS but no clue about reality. You
need help and I think I can help you with your fixation on the success
of HD radio but you need to accept that you have a problem. That is
the first step.

Now are you ready to be helped?

Yeah, and the help is coming from Samsung and the other fabs that are
releasing 9 mm form factor low power consumption chips for delivery sometime
in Q2 of this year. This will permit portable HD devices, integration of HD
into MP3 players and phones, etc.

And... I am not a general manager, although I have been one in the past; I
work with listeners to find their needs and feelings regarding radio.

Eddie - You're still in denial. When it raises the prices up another
$100.00 for an MP3 player consumers will wisely pass that option up.
No demand....no HD. It really is that simple.

Check out their feelings for faux Hispanics while you're at it.

Actually, the idea is to add more features to a player, phone or other
device at the same price.

Is that what you did by becoming a faux Hispanic... add more features?

"Sad because eliminating new hires (including sellers), failing to

halting all advertising and research is the equivalent of saying that
necessity requires us to strangle the goose that lays the golden eggs,
even as the goose is up for sale."


Nice bluff, Eduardo!

That still does not change the fact that no HD channels or operations have
been eliminated, or "dumped" as you eloquently said, at Clear, except by
sale of stations.

9 mm is the package. It means 9 millimeter square. The number of
connections/pins can vary but the most important aspect is that it has
nothing to do with what is inside it. The thing that determines the
amount of power that is used is the die inside. The die is a piece of
semiconductor material that is the electronic circuitry inside the 9 mm
square package that along with the technology that made it determines
the power used by it.

Thank you. We are aware of that. Millimeter tends to indicate physical
dimension, doesn't it? Samsung has been nice enough to give us a little
presentation, in which they described how they developed a much smaller
package, which permits it to be used in multipurpose devices, which also
consumers much less power, permitting it to be used in portable devices.
