Default HD Radio is a Farce!

FM finally found it's audience...

And look where it is now.

Lucky no one declared it a "failure" after only a couple of years!


OK, let's imagine HD radio never develops any significant unique

content.

It already has developed lots of unique content. People just don't know
about it yet.


And as long as people don't know about it, it's hardly significant.


Just because you don't know there's treasure burried in your bacyard,
doesn't meant the treasure isn't significant.

As far as televangelists....do you want to start regulating content...or

do
we allow for free speech?


Broadcasters already regulate content, but it has nothing to do with
evangelists or televangelists. The FCC fines broadcasters who don't
follow
guidelines.


So, you are complaining that there are evangelists on the radio?

have original cutting-edge
content on all the new HD channels, the necessary oversight is alot
cheaper
if they just broadcast the same old low rent stuff.


Should they spend lots of money on channels people don't even know exist?
That makes sense, doesn't it?

If HD radio never rises above junk radio, isn't it a failure?


There's a lot of "junk radio" out there now that makes money and gets
listeners. Is that a failure?

Failure depends on what you expect.


Again, some of the most listened to stations in the country run so-called
junk radio.

What DO you expect.

If we expect the sort of radio which will attract a huge mass market and
the
sort of radio which will change out culture, HD radio has failed and will
continue to fail.


You expected HD radio to attract a huge mass market?

At best it's an ancillary service that adds functionality to standard radio
broadcasting.

That's the expectation. In that regard, it's a sucesss.
