"CLEAR CHANNEL PULLS THE PLUG ON SOME HD RADIO STATIONS"

"After conducting a survey of 340 HD2 stations to determine their
programming needs, the folks at Clear Channel have dumped a number of
their HD 'Format Lab' stations due to a lack of demand."

Yea, there's a real demand for HD Radio - LOL!

This is not a question of lack of demand for HD radio....just a lack of
demand for the formats that were nixed...like the all-polka channel.

(CC Calls each of the formats a 'station'.)

In rality, the formats will be repalced with more mainstream formats.

More "mainstream" formats.... that's industry speak for more
rap/hiphop/gangsta/dancedance/urban/.....

In other words, more of the same old crap that you can hear more than
adequately on your $10 pocket radio or $20 boombox, without paying out a
****load of money for a piece of IBOC battery-eating trash that won't pick
up anything without an external antenna anyway..

BAD - Yeah that's about it. ~ RHF

Same could be said for the $3K Bose Sound System too.

An IBOC HD-Radio with a Docking Station for an MP3
Player, iPod, or an Memory Chip Slot will be the 'bridge'
for many younger Radio Listeners.

format tha was cancelled.

The HD channels are just clever reworks off the main analog channels -
most of the channels are just jukeboxes and offer consumers no
compelling content. HD Radio is a farce:
