CLEAR CHANNEL PULLS THE PLUG ON SOME HD RADIO STATIONS
 

Eddie - I think you're on to something. I can't wait to get a new
cell phone with HD radio inside. It's gonna be so cool hooked up to an
FM dipole antenna to recieve HD FM and a MW loop for AM HD. you're
right ... it's gonna work out real well. They're gonna sell like
hotcakes.

By the way I think you're becoming psychotic. You're delusions are
worse than I thought.

Not so outrageous. My Nokia has FM broadcast built in. Adding HD
wouldn't be so much of a stretch.

And using technology designed primarly for cell phone reception, the
FM in my Nokia allows some pretty impressive reception, using nothing
more than the earphone cord as an antenna, as far out of town as
Marengo, well outside of Chicago ADI.

"After conducting a survey of 340 HD2 stations to determine their
programming needs, the folks at Clear Channel have dumped a number of
their HD 'Format Lab' stations due to a lack of demand."

http://talentfilter.blogspot.com/200...n-some-hd.html

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.



So they're just hoping people will find these stations by osmosis, or what?

The "Format Lab" streams over 30 different prototype formats at

and they can measure very easily which get more hits and listening time.
These prototypes, if successful, become the basis for terrestrial formats,
both for main channel and HD2 channels. The main idea is to find formats
with good appeal to put on the HD2 channels of Clear's stations to drive
receiver sales.


Are they on Shoutcast? Most people would never think to go to Clear
Channel dot com for innovation.

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.


Get a job in a shop or on a construction site. You won't learn anything
hanging-out in office buildings.

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.

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



What is the current drain of your new doodad? That is the important spec.

Watching the news today, and doing some Google searches to verify my
information.. I'm wondering how much Clear Channel had to do with Romney
dropping out of the race. Since CC is owned by Bain Investments, which in
turn is owned (run?) by Romney, doesn't that create a HUMONGOUS conflict of
interest, and violate federal election laws?


He left Bain in 2001, din't he?

There is no Chicago ADI.

Do you find it interesting what you can know about a part just from the
package it uses?


The key issue is that Samsung has designed a smaller single chip replacing
the multi-chip set, which could not be used in portables due to size and
power consumption. Who cares what is inside if it works as stated? It's not
"rocket science" just consumer electronics.
