Gee, sounds like the stuff they used to say about FM!

(And we all k now how that turned out!)
Nobody ever said that about FM as far as I know.

Maybe it was before your time....

"I can't pick it up!" "It needs a BIG antenna". "I costs more".
"There's Nothing on FM I would want to hear".

"Same thing I can get on AM." "Who needs an FM Radio when I have my
(staticky) FM?"

Then came a time when radio manufacturers were required to include the FM
Band, right?

Add to that "I don't see why they are making me buy and FM radio when I
don't want one!"

FM was added to more radios within a given line as it became more popular.
FM gained popularity primarily due to content, and not fidelity.

But why? "Everyone was happy with AM Radio." "FM Radio cost more money."

There'll always be people who want to go back to the stone age....

"Why the drop outs?
 

And IOBOC doesn't either...unless youa re listening to stations that are
not
required to cover your area.

That's retard talk. If I want to listen to it and a near by IBOC station
screws that up is all I care about.

If you want to listen to BBC Radio I in America and you can't pick it up
because a NYC station is on the same frequency, should the FCC mandate a
change?

Face it. Stations are only protected within certain contours.

Outside of that it's gravy.

BS. People that want to listen to stations on the dial are not holding
back technological innovation IBOC does that.

two thoughts...

You can't listen to everything...as radio signals are finite...and they are
only protected so far...

Second, there are many more station offerred thru IBOC. So "lack of choice"
is a nonissue.

IBOC has elicited a massive ennui from the American populus

How lonf did FM take to be the accepted standard?

What has that have to do with IBOC?

New standards and new technology take time for the public to realize.

And since this is an advertiser supported medium...the content depends on
the listenership.

The FCC isn't protecting nightime clear channel stations anymore...

Yes, the stations themselves are doing it.

There's not much a former "clear channel" station can do if the FCC allows
another station on their frequency.

"Why the drop outs?
 

Its a new technology...just like Color TV, Stereo, RDS, etc.

Deal with it.

Color TV and FM stereo didn't wipe out extra spectrum when they were
introduced.

Nor is IBOC.

Where is it written that everything has to be digital?

Read carefully: P-R-O-G-R-E-S-S

IBOC is not P-R-O-G-R-E-S-S. IBOC is old technology misapplied to the
broadcast bands.

The digital revolution is old technology? Funny...it seems like everything
else around us is using digitization to improve.

But you can stay with DOS if you like....

IBOC is a stupid pointy haired boss idea.

And IBOC detractors are whiney little low-level employees who complain that
the world is passing them by.

I am a radio listener that has experienced the band deteriorate due to

If one wants to listen to 1150 in Los Angeles in the morning one must put
up with IBOC crap from 1140 in Sacto and 1160 in SLC.

Not if you are in LA....which is the city of service for 1150AM.

A service to thousands is diminished for the benefit of a handful of
techies.

No, for the benefit of listeners in LA...which is the service area for
1150AM.

I'm talking about local stations in said localities, many within their

Please cite the case you are speaking about....

Where does a local station get interfered with in their own city of license

I have never heard of such a case.
