No need for an iphone. KSL is in iTunes, just listen to it on your
existing PC. Checking it out right now, talking about Utah football, how
they are getting "robbed" by being the only unbeaten team in the nation but
not playing for the BCS championship. That happens every year to some
team!

No need to "wait until sunset", erect some huge antenna, twiddle with knobs
and hope to catch a weak, static filled fading signal. Just great digital
clarity, 24/7. This is the future of "radio".

Funny how they are not pushing AM radio either! They keep saying "Crystal
Clear on 102.7 FM"!

BC,

Look for all the former AM Radio Stations that had
a Class "A" Unlimited 50 KW Power Authorization
http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/amclasses.html
to Transisition to the FM Radio Band and petition the
FCC to give their new FM Radio Stations a Class "C"
full 100 KW 600m 60dBu Service Contour.
http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/fmclasses.html
- - - In The Name of Public Service

Now Imagine Each of those former AM Radio Power
Houses being on the FM Radio Band in HD-Radio
with HD2 Radio Channels with Double the number
of Radio Listeners on the Primary HD-Radio Channel
{Greater Profits} plus a secondary income stream
from the HD2 Radio Channel. {More Profit Sources}

The Profitable Future of FM Radio is "HD" and "HD2".

it will happen in the name of public $ervice ~ RHF

There's no fun or challenge in that. Society has wasted away to a lazy,
worthless, self indulgent bunch that want instant gratification and expect
everyone to bend to their every whim. Yeah, I can go find thousands of
stations online (hell, I even HAVE one online (two, if you count the second
stream just for dialups)), but I would much rather a) not have to be
tethered to my computer and b) have some sense of having actually
accomplished something... to have put forth some effort to get what I
want... the 'thrill of the hunt' as it were. Life is just so much more
interesting when there is some challenge to it. I bet you wait for someone
else to grow all your food for you, too. I go to the store, even fast food,
but not 100%. We enjoy growing our own vegetables each year (and there's
nothing better than a home grown tomato or ear of corn. )

BAD,

The vast majority of people {99.73%} Listen
to the Free Over-the-Air Radio :

# 1 - Because . . . It's There {Available 24/7 Over-the-Air}
Plus It Is FREE
* "instant gratification" at not cost

# 2 - Because . . . It's Easy To Do
* "worthless" and "lazy"

# 3 - Because . . . It's Enjoyable / Entertaining / Informative
{ A Relaxing Mindless Passive Activity }
* "self indulgent" and "wasted"

NOTE - Challenge Ain't On The List ~ RHF
* "challenge"

Why does listening to the radio need to be "challenging"? Do you enjoy
the challenge of hitching up your horse to your buggy to drive to town? Do
you enjoy the challenge of washing your clothes by rubbing them on a
washboard? Do you enjoy the challenge of fiddling with the rabbit ears
antenna on your B&W TV set to watch snowy, ghosty images on it? Do you
enjoy the challenge of making candles every day and making sure each room in
your house has fresh candles for each night? Chopping wood and hauling it
into the fireplace of every room in your house?

Society has wasted away to a lazy, worthless, self indulgent bunch that
want instant gratification and expect everyone to bend to their every whim.

What an absurd rant. Yeah, internet radio is causing the decline and fall
of society.

No, it's not the cause, just a symptom. The cause is laziness in general.

Laziness has nothing to do with internet radio. It is quite a "challenge"
to get an old laptop, install Windows/iTunes/WiFi network card, get AM
transmitter, connect laptop to AM transmitter (hum? get a Ground Loop
eliminator), find clear AM frequency to broadcast on (clear both day and
night), set laptop volume/EQ to get good sound, install VNC on laptop so I
can control it from any other computer in the house, put both laptop and AM
transmitter in high (to maximize signal and range) out-of-the-way place,
recap old tube radios to play like new, then after all this listen to "lazy"
internet radio.

Then do all of the above a 2nd time to have 2 stations on the air
simultaneously.

Without the above, I couldn't listen to KSL (or hundreds of other stations
around the country/world) at all. But now I can listen in any room of my
house (or outside), on any old (or new) radio of my choice, without having
to sit at a computer.

I call it progress.

We've had it too easy. A nice long recession will toughen everybody up
and shake-out the wimps.

Much truth to you statement. Nothing wrong with as Brenda Ann stated
about growing your own garden, none whatsoever. Any size yard it can
be done in and not only does it save you money but "you" control if
it's being sprayed with crap or not or being forced to eat fruits or
vegetables that are being grown from the "terminator seeds." I am glad
I started doing it. The difference in taste is noticed right away.
