I referred to Stocks as a loser on iNiquity's Google Finance site,
because MyerEmco was a loser that went out of business. Yea, a real
nice guy that should be considered a criminal, along with the rest of
iNiquity's employees, for this monopoly to take over our airways
through adjacent-channel interference! Maybe, he doen't realize that
since he has been in the news, he is considered a public figure, and
is legally open to criticism.

"Myer-Emco Inc. bought out by competitor"

May 8, 2007 5:48 PM (301 days ago) by Melissa Frederick, The Examiner
WASHINGTON (Map, News) - New York-based Harvey Electronics Inc. has
purchased local audio and video retailer and installer Myer-Emco Inc.
of Gaithersburg.

Myer-Emco began as a ham radio repair shop in a home in Silver Spring
in 1955, and grew to a chain of 10 stores in the D.C. area. Harvey has
nine locations in New York and New Jersey and has been in business for
75 years. Both specialize in high-end products and customized
installations, targeting wealthier markets.

"So many industry contacts have been coming up to me and saying, 'Gee,
this makes perfect sense,'" Myer-Emco President and Chief Operating
Officer Gary Yacoubain said Tuesday. "You couldn't find two more alike
companies."

Financial terms of the purchase were not disclosed. Yacoubain will
remain in his position at the combined company and Harvey will retain
the rest of the company's management team as well.

After the purchase, the stores will continue to operate under their
own names, and no branding will change, the executives said. Martin
McClanan, Harvey's interim chief executive officer, said the agreement
allows the company to continue to invest heavily in training their
workforce to make sure they have an educated sales team.

"We're not really trying to become a big box retailer; we want to be
the place you go if you are looking for a great quality product, or
for someone to actually do your installation," Yacoubain said.

http://www.examiner.com/a-717164~Mye...petitor.htm l

You stupid ****, JR - you don't even know your own business! LIER!
Now, go crawl back to your hole, and keep repairing all of thaose ham
radios! Loser! Just like everyone else, you'll never be able to sell
those empty HD radios! iBiquity scammed you, too! Stupid ****!

House Subcommittee To Investigate FCC"

"WASHINGTON -- December 4, 2007: House Commerce Committee Chairman
John Dingell (D-MI) told FCC Chairman Kevin Martin in a letter Monday
that he's concerned about 'procedural breakdowns' at the FCC and that
the Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation
will be conducting a probe into the agency."

http://www.radioink.com/HeadlineEntr...&pt=todaysnews

“HD Radio on the Offense”

“But after an investigation of HD Radio units, the stations playing
HD, and the company that owns the technology; and some interviews with
the wonks in DC, it looks like HD Radio is a high-level corporate
scam, a huge carny shill.”

http://www.eastbayexpress.com/2007-0...on-the-offense

"Editorial on the recent approval of HD Radio (IBOC) in the USA"

"... the reason the big boys in the big markets are so pro IBOC is
because they like the hash as it wipes out distant signals getting
into their market. There is no way to stop skip, but if the IBOC hash
wipes the signal out, then the locals will have to listen to their
local station. Kind of like legal jamming. Considering that, then even
if the public does not buy the radios, keeping the IBOC signal might
be worth their while."

http://www.am-dx.com/amiboc.htm

"DEAD AIR: Radio's great leap forward stalling in the Valley"

"KMBH, the National Public Radio affiliate based in Harlingen,
switched to HD this year, but the change did not boost its
inconsistent analog signal in the upper Valley. Monsignor Pedro
Briseño, 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 Briseño. 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."

"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."

"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."

I referred to Stocks as a loser on iNiquity's Google Finance site,
becauseMyerEmcowas a loser that went out of business. Yea, a real
nice guy that should be considered a criminal, along with the rest of
iNiquity's employees, for this monopoly to take over our airways
through adjacent-channel interference! *Maybe, he doen't realize that
since he has been in the news, he is considered a public figure, and
is legally open to criticism.


Funny- no one told be me that we had gone out of business. *Check your
facts, Myer-Emco is very much in business, and has been for 52 years.
Rationalizing a personal attack of someone you do not know, simply
because they are in the news, is pretty weak ground. *I am not sure
what your beef with J.R. is, but I would certainly vouch for his
credibility and capabilities.

Whoever you are, you had better be careful using threatening tones
with posters. There is a big difference between that and First
Amendment Free Speech Rights! And, good-luck if you think bringing the
"big guns" out is going to discourage me from posting! Don't you have
that "bought out" business to attend to? Being bought-out is a retreat
strategy, so I wouldn't brag, if I were you!
