But they don't. They are usually up and down the West Coast, some in
Nevada, and all listening over the air, because they say they are.

This conversation is fruitless. Eduardo is as firmly set in his opinion as
we are, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, the writing is on the
wall for IBOC, and he knows it if he won't admit it. They are being turned
off all over the country, as the stations are realizing they were sold a
pig in a poke, and nobody is listening. It would only attract the techie
group anyway, and they will rush to streaming radio in their cars as soon
as it's available. The avarage person who turns on their car radio for
traffic, or their kitchen radio for news and sports knows they don't need
HD to hear it. That was the flaw in the system from the very beginning. The
crowd they might have attracted don't listen to radio at all.

Go to http://www.alexa.com/ and run the graphs for max time period and
for pageviews for hdradio.com and msndirect.com - the graphs are flat.
Clear Channel made a deal with MSNDirect for traffic services, but no
one is interested.
