For those that think that IBOC is going to go away soon, the FCC Chairmen speaks of it as being the future of radio. Digital Radio Will Level Field For AM, Martin Says By Jeffrey Yorke AUSTIN -- FCC chairman Kevin Martin (pictured) says the radio industry's migration to digital delivery from analog will "level the playing field" for AM stations that are suffering from poor audio quality and, thus, lack of listener support. Martin, speaking during the NAB Radio Show's annual "Chairman's Breakfast" Thursday (Sept. 18), acknowledged the importance of the FCC facilitating the industry's conversion to digital but also said that he thinks radio receivers ought to be capable of receiving an array of signals including AM/FM, HD Radio and satellite radio signals. Martin, Boy Wonder, is out of touch! And will saying anything for a buck or trip. Radio is dying with its older listeners. This same generation grew up with AM/FM and has little interest in upgrading. The next generation feels “Listening to radio is like listening to your friend’s ipod with commercials” They’ve checked out and become addicted to the Internet and mobile access while radio let them get away. They don’t even know what AM radio is, and Iboc isn’t going to bring them back. It’s not a sound problem, it’s how technology enables it’s users to cho0se content, when they want and what they want to see or hear. He noted that the Commission has just released a public inquiry seeking positions on whether such a rule ought to be mandated by the government, but it was clear what his position is. |
