I Gotta laugh at this one.

Bob “The Booble” Struble told me in an email a few months back that
the reason HD radios were at discount and clearance prices was because
retailers were making room for, as he put it, “New HD Radio
products”. This is so cool. Christmas time is here and there’s
nothing on the shelves.

HD radio is unraveling before our very eyes. You gotta love it

Merry Xmas Struble

With the growth of satellite radio and internet options, there really
isn't a need for HD radio. And I would think advertisers would be
against HD radio also, gives people even more opportunity to tune off
a station when a commercial is running.

SC DXing - That is very True US Consumer will :

#1 - Up-Grade their regular AM & FM Radios
with a new HD {AM & FM} Radio

-or- #2 - Buy something newer and better

Most Will Choose #2 -however- Should the FCC Mandate
the 'configuration' of All Digital or Satellit Read Radios :
Then HD {AM & FM} Radios will be in every New Car plus
any consumer buying a new Alarm {AM & FM} Clock Radio
will be Buying a new HD {AM & FM} Radio

The simple fact is People no longer BUY AM & FM Radios
in-of-and-by-themselves .

Without a FCC Mandate for All Digital HD {AM & FM} Radios
the Terrestrial AM & FM Radio Broadcasting Business is
Doomed to a Slow Un-Profitable Death ~ RHF

I hope the FCC doesn't mandate it. Let the consumer decide.

Satellite radio is growing so much that the two companies had to merge to
survive, after losing over $10 billion since they launched. Subscriber churn
is producing a net loss in subscribers this year, while new installs have
slowed to nearly nothing due to the lack of new car sales.

And I'm sure it's because consumers have turned off their satellite
radios and discovered exciting HD RADIO!!!
Man, this has been a great year for HD radio. Can't wait for the
inflated sales figures.

They claim the subscriber base is growing but at a slower rate and
it's certainly losing a ton of money. The share price is down to 15
cents, so you are probably right that's it is going down the drain.
They are indeed in trouble in the US. I think Satellite radio in
Europe is much more solid financially.

So thanks for the information..... Cheers
