Inside Radio today reported 20 staff positions have been cut.
The Maryland jobs-development loan specified iBiquity's 2008 payroll

Looks like the IBOC pioneers just laid off FIFTY-TWO percent of their
existing workforce.

"iBiquity moves to conserve"

"HD Radio may be growing, but technology developer iBiquity is not
immune from the overall economic downturn. It laid-off about 20
employees last week. CEO Bob Struble, who despite the cost-cutting,
remains upbeat about its strong forward movement."

You are such a liar. iBiquity has over 130 employees, and they laid off 20.
That is about 15%, not 52%.

The 38 you idiotically refer to are the ones covered by the loan, not the
full staff.

IBOC is to radio what the DTV Switchover will be to Broadcast
Television.

A complete, utter, un-mitigated, cluster-fu(ked disaster.

Trust me when I say I wish that cancer or something else in the fatal
disease quivver of infectious strains would kill off every goddammed f-
n ******* who had anything whatsoever to do with IBOC on the AM band.
IBOC has totally destroyed AM radio DX ing and all pleasure of
listening with a classic analog car or home radio.

Of course, it's more like 14%, not 52%. All of you critics of radio use
faked-up statistics as the only way to make your case.

HD likely will not work on AM, but that is because, like AM stereo, it came
too late.

No, an attempt to jump into the digital world that was just not timely
enough. AM is pretty much dead, with little advertiser interest in most of
the remaining listeners.

As I said earlier, AM DX can't be preserved if there is a way of making AMs
more viable. As it is, the night listening levels to AM are about 25% of
daytime levels, and there is no measured listening outside each station's
local groundwave coverage area. The need for night service died when evening
programming moved to TV, and then the FCC licensed about 10,000 more local
stations, obviating any need to listen to scratchy, fading, staticy AM
signals from afar.

Wait until the 10db power increase is approved by the FCC - but, few
stations will be able to afford total rebuilds, thank, God!

"News/Talk/Sports: Radio's Last Bastion"

"Music FMs of any flavor are utterly screwed... Right now -- while FMs
are losing the music audience to new media -- satellite radio is
offering more News/Talk/Sports programming than we can fit on AM
radio."

http://ftp.media.radcity.net/ZMST/daily/IS031005.htm

It's the music-oriented FMs that are screwed - many of the larger 50kw
AMs are rated in the top-5, if not number one, such as WLW. Music-
oriented FMs cannot compete anymore with all of the other devices
available. Radio revenues are now down 50%, and CCU is headed for the
toilet.

The "digital world" is where machines live, not people. Until you can
make a $5 digital radio that runs for a week on a single AA battery you
have an inferior product.

What about stations from "afar" that sound better than the locals? Los
Angeles has nothing that comes close to the quality of KGO, both in
production values and technical air sound. Hell, KKOH in Reno has a
more together air sound than anything in L. A.
