"NAB backs royalty study"
"Radio is under pressure to negotiate with record labels now. It remains to be seen whether this move puts the performance royalty on the backburner for months. But the NAB is backing a proposed congressional economic-impact study on the proposal. Music First spokesman Marty Machowski says the debate is no longer about whether a royalty should be adopted, but if lawmakers should wait for a study’s outcome before moving forward." http://www.insideradio.com/topheadli...7s+Top+Stories We'll see a flip on FM to AMs' successful news/talk/sports formats. The royalties ARE going to happen - LOL, Eduardo! |

Now we're getting somewhere. |

"Bonneville pulls iChannel Music" "Bonneville has pulled the plug on its iChannel Music HD Network and streaming. For the most part, it has replaced the HD multicast with WorldBand Media content (brokered ethnic programming). iChannel allowed indie bands to upload their music online for consideration... We commend Bonneville for giving it a shot—it allowed radio to expose a lot of new, unsigned indie bands from around the world. CC Radio's eRockster HD2 format is still around at a good handful of stations and still outstanding. If that gets shuttered, a good bunch of us just might be done with HD Radio listening altoghether." http://www.rbr.com/radio/12113.html That was tried and failed on HD Radio - LOL! |

November 2008 "So bottom line, the Format Lab is no longer available on the web and has cut some of its formats down to the most successful/desirable. The www.iHeartMusic.com website seems to only list the main audio streams of CC stations--not multicast HD formats--but does offer a few off to the side: erockster; Pride; Verizon New Music; Smooth Jazz; Real Oldies; Slow Jams and New Country. There used to be something close to 100 formats listed on the site." http://www.rbr.com/radio/11252.html Format Lab was also a failure. |

The object was to develop many formats, and cull out the dogs based on Internet usage. The best would go on HD2 channels, and when finished, the "Lab" would have achieved its objective, and close. |

Sorry but, it's going to take more than that for Struble to claim victory. Where I live, hd radio is an on-again, off-again proposition - not a good sign. Can't wait for the Hindi formats to hit the big time here. It's a niche, and produces lots of revenue for Emmis that it would not have had. |

"Addressing The Long Tail: HD2s and HD3s for Fun and Profit" "Analog radio cannot effectively serve The Long Tail. Broadcasters have had huge success addressing the 80% with widely popular mass market content pushed through our loud speakers. But our economic structure won’t let us take advantage of the few consumers who like reggae or death metal or comedy or mommy talk. You simply cannot program niche formats on analog stations and make the numbers work – listenership and revenue potential are too low to cover capital and operating costs... So go ahead, grab that Long Tail. It will help your station, and help the industry." http://tinyurl.com/66jb9s "Harvard Business Review: Should You Invest in the Long Tail?" "Chris Anderson, editor of Wired magazine, argues that the sudden availability of niche offerings more closely tailored to their tastes will lure consumers away from homogenized hits. The 'tail' of the sales distribution curve, he says, will become longer, fatter, and more profitable. Elberse, a professor at Harvard Business School, set out to investigate whether Anderson's long-tail theory is actually playing out in today's markets. She focused on the music and home- video industries -- two markets that Anderson and others frequently hold up as examples of the long tail in action -- reviewing sales data from Nielsen SoundScan, Nielsen VideoScan, the online music service Rhapsody, and the Australian DVD-by-mail service Quickflix. What she found may surprise you: Blockbusters are capturing even more of the market than they used to, and consumers in the tail don't really like niche products much." http://www.citeulike.org/user/mmkurth/article/2984768 Niche formats are a failure, as shown by Bonneville pulling the iChannel HD Radio network, and with Format Lab down to just 7 formats, which are copies of the main analog channels. |
HD Radio is done, and so are music-oriented FM stations.
BMW announced that a recent engineering demonstration in Philadelphia,
PA has validated the concept of broadcasting advanced traffic information via HD Radio stations. The exercise, conducted in November using the Transport Protocol Experts Group (TPEG) protocol, was led by Munich-based BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH (BMW Group Research and Technology) and supported by BMW of North America and its technology partner, Clear Channel Total Traffic Network. The new TPEG protocol for Traffic Flow and Prediction (TFP) supports real-time, high-speed broadcast of traffic information and will enable future vehicles to view current and predicted traffic patterns, speeds, and flows almost instantaneously. For the entire article, go to: http://www.bimmerfile.com/2009/03/10...or-technology/ HD radio is not dead. Dream on, kids. |

There was a good reason MSN Direct rejected HD Radio: "Microsoft sticks with analog" 1/14/09 "The company's MSN Direct was developing a new traffic and local information service using HD Radio signals. But after two years of investigating how HD Radio could be tapped, Microsoft decides to stick with its current analog system instead of converting to an HD Radio data service." http://tinyurl.com/8unwdu NAV Traffic has already been done by SATRAD and others - too little too late. There is no possible ROI for HD Radio - it's just a money- pit for hardware manufacturers and iBiquity: "A little feedback on HD Radio" "Is anyone surprised to see stations shutting off their HD signals (12/29/08 RBR #250)? It's a flawed technology designed only to line the pockets of iBiquity. We didn't have to pay Edison to use the incandescent light bulb...we bought the bulbs but didn't have to pay to use them."
