Monsignor Pedro Briseņo, the manager of the station and its television affiliate, did not return multiple calls and an e-mail requesting comment on the station's shift. A fundraising campaign on the station asked local listeners to contribute to the upgrade earlier this year, touting the change as a service to listeners that would improve their experience. The station's business manager said she could not reveal the cost of the upgrade, saying all media requests have to be routed to Briseņo. A public information request faxed to the station Monday evening has not yet received a response. Organizations that receive government funding are subject to state and federal open records laws, but have seven business days to respond to information requests." http://www.themonitor.com/news/radio...gital_new.html "HD Radio: Will More Awareness Translate To Sales?" "Unfortunately, Ibiquity does not: Yes, they have gotten many radio stations to make the $100,000 or so investment required to add HD Radio broadcasting, but what the leave out of their PR spin is that MANY of these stations were Public Radio/NPR stations that had their equipment paid for by special funding from Congress. So tell me, senior executives from, say, Sony, Mitsubishi, Best Buy, etc.: How do you feel about Ibiquity''s lobbyists getting US taxpayers to pick up the tab for many of their transmitter sales? Wouldn''t it be great if your lobbyists could get Congress to mandate that US taxpayers be required to buy your products, too? Do you even slightly care? Ibiquity will take their money and run, and HD Radio will join a long list of failed formats, like Dolby FM radio, Elcassete, mini disk (in the US), etc." http://tinyurl.com/37pe7t "HD Radio: Fun with Math" "I think it is fair to say that the audiophile community, those people who take their FM seriously, is dead set AGAINST HDRadio. Not only do most people never intend to buy a radio, unless as a plaything for early adopters and collectors, but are aghast at the FCC for even allowing IBOC to thrash up the FM bandwidth. Plus, people with enough technical savvy to read the specs are insulted by the false claims of 'CD sound quality' or even 'near-CD sound quality'. These are transparent marketing hype, beyond mean puffery. Sorry, but HDRadio has sworn enemies. This goes beyond just business but has political reprecussions for FCC and for Congress. This has the whiff of political scandal - and I'm a rock-ribbed Republican! The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is especially vulnerable. My advice for any businessman is to avoid any association with HDRadio." http://www.hear2.com/2006/06/hd_radio_fun_wi.html |

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. |

Eddie - If no one is listening how do they get a listener response? The "Format Lab" streams over 30 different prototype formats at http://www.clearchannelmusic.com/formatlab/ 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. |

The idea is to create new content for HD that has not been found on radio up till now. http://www.clearchannelmusic.com/formatlab/ 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? |
