Default Hd Radio Sales - Did I Get The Math Right?

On Mar 1, 10:29 am, Rfburns wrote:
Lets see now - 400 Million spent on HD Radio ads and 300,000 radios
sold so far - and that's probably inflated.

Ok, that amounts to....... $1333.33 spent for each listener - roughly
speaking of course. Did I get the math right? Is that a valid way
of looking at it?.

Now its possible that there are two people listening to the same
radio. OK......That amounts to.....$666.66 per listener.

Help me out here. Doesn't seem too successful to me.

J.R. Stocks. Could you help me on this?

OK. Radiosophy is extending their sale of HD radios through March.
You can buy this fine plastic radio for $89.00 This might help.

Having to be put on "sale" means no sale. Here is a review from Wired
on that piece-of-crap:

"Remember those crappy $15 AM/FM/cassette radios from the 80s? The
HD100 looks just like one and has the sound to match. Basically a
glorified clock radio, it has a chintzy, careless interface with
speakers that spew a tinny unrefined sound. Frankly we'd be happier
keeping our money and sitting in silence."

If you look at my blog down the right hand side, you will quickly
figure out why HD radios are so expensive, yet cheaply made:
