One of the turning points on the way to the demise of traditional
broadcasting in the USA was the NAB's flat refusal to adopt Eureka 147
because legacy stations would lose their higher-power legacy
facilities and AM would have equal footing with FM.

Eureka did not even get to the NAB level; the band in the US is
reserved for military uses. It has failed miserably in canada, too.

Since then, Sirius and XM filled the void. Radio has been bleeding
red ever since.
No, satellite has been bleeding. Clear Channel had EBITDA of $1.8
billion last year while the satellite companies collectively lost $1.6
billion.

Radio billings were up 2% last year.
Everybody's bleeding 'cept for me and my monkey.
No, you are just lying and making up statistics that do not exist.
Billing back to the 60's is on the RAB website.
Y'all are bleeding audience, if not cash. How much of that CCU figure was
TV? Outdoor? Attractions?

0% attractions which they spun off several years ago.

Radio is the largest part.

Go to the RAB website, and see the billing figures for the last nearly 60
years.

AM radio is losing audience, as few new listeners come in. FM is at
approximately the same levels as 10, 15, 20 years ago.



If FM is the same, an AM is losing audience, then "radio" aka "AM/FM: is
losing audience. That has people in your business freaking-out.
