"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."

We'll see a flip on FM to AMs' successful news/talk/sports formats.
The royalties ARE going to happen - LOL, Eduardo!

All they have to do is quit playing the crap the major labels put out,
and get a bunch of locals and independents to fill the void. 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."

That was tried and failed on HD Radio - LOL!

It did not fail... someone came and offered money to use the HD2, vs no
money for the indie channel.

Oops PocketRadio - Bonneville just turn a Dozen
or so non-profitable HD-2 Channels into Profitable
HD-2 Channels --- Sure Sounds Like Good News
for FM HD-Radio and the real 'potential' for extra
Income Streams from HD-2 Channels.

"CC Radio’s Format Lab gone?"
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."

Format Lab was also a failure.

It was a total success. 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.

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:

HD radio is not dead. Dream on, kids.

So, we are to believe a study by the vested interests of BMW and Clear
Channel - LOL! 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."

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."

It's a joke here in the mountains. We have satellite or listen to AM.
