DPM -reveals- The Great Truth of Commercial AM & FM Radio !

"In the end what you get, is locally protected contours

And HD-Radio tightens-up the 'protected' Contours to
further localize the Sales and 'protect' the Local Market
from Outside competition.

While HD-Radio may be Bad for Radio Listeners :
HD- Radio may be Good for the Radio Business.

I stopped listening to talk radio some time ago. I can't get WJNT at
night and I am approxamently 40 miles from Jackson, Ms and I got tired
of listening to Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingram, and Sean Hannity during
the day. I sometimes get my fill of Sean Hannity arguing with Alen
Colmes on FNC. I listen to K-Love on FM100.9 in Jackson which is good
Christian Radio.

Good for busuness - what a ****ing joke! Terrestrial Radio is
embarrassing itself with HD Radio!

What is the name of that North South running road/street/drive just East
of WJNT, that google map thingy, I zeroed in on that as much as I could
with WebTV, but I couldn't quite make it out.Is it Flynn Drive? I have a
Jackson city map here, I could figure out how far in a straight line
(more or less) West I am from WJNT, or if that is their transmitter
tower? I couldn't hardly pick up WJNT last night either.Maybe I had
bumped the tuning know on my radio and didn't notice.I will get my old
real good battery powered AM FM Panasonic portable radio tonight and try
again when doggy takes me out in the front yard for a few minutes.

I believe you are right, RHF.Eight air miles from me sounds just about
right.I know I am four and a half miles West of President Street in
beautifull down town Jackson,Me see see pee pee eye, and about another
four miles is about right.So, eight miles it T'IS.
