Eduardo - help me get this straight.....
In previous groups you've agreed that AM hd is, in your words,
"dreadful". You've also made many other negative leaning statements concerning iBiquity digital but we won't go into these right now. Now that you've made your real feelings public, how can you defend digital radio at all in its current dismal state? Really Eduardo, you seem to be playing both sides as it suits you. Have I missed something? |

It's likely that the recession has reduced or eliminated HD's chances of long term viability, but it does not hurt to leave it on. You've got to admit you've had a change of heart. *Going from a hard- core proponent to a very reduced and subdued "FM HD sounds good" is nothing short of amazing. *And, in your case, trashes any credibility you might have had. *But it's good that you've become honest. I said previously that the current economy was likely going to set HD back enough so that it would lose its window of opportunity. There is a contraction in the economy at all level; consumers will not buy new home radios nor will they buy new cars with HD. By the time the economy recovers, we will be that much closer to WiMax and other delivery systems. There are plenty of things on the "old" agenda that are not going to happen due to the economy, and HD is just one of them. To refute your "FM HD sounds good" statement * - The difference in sound quality is insignificant. *Especially when you consider that the vast majority of radio listeners today couldn't correctly chose whether they were hearing an analog or digital signal. *In fact, I'd be willing to wager that you couldn't either. *I'd invite you over and do a fascinating demonstration to prove it to you but you scare me, therefore, I won't and you probably wouldn't anyway. We have done the same comparisons ourselvs, so no thanks. The issue is that a station music do separate processing for the digital stream to the HD gear, or there will be no gain and considerable destruction of the digital audio. When done right by good engineers, there is a considerable difference that anyone can hear. First in noticability is that since the noise floor is much lower, more dynamic range can be preserved. Second, the nasty 75 us FM analog preemphasis curve does not apply to digital, so there is another area of gain. The extra channels and services point is dead. *Consumers are saturated and don't care and most broadcasters don't have the resources to support them - thank God. Oddly, there is a rush to rent Hd2s by services ranging from Hindia and other Indian languages to missing formats like contemporary Hispanic Christian and Tejano, and they are driving receiver sales. As a good friend of mine recently said. *I'd rather see radio completely fail then to see iBiquity digital succeed. *I'm going to continue, in my small and limited way, to see that iBiquity fails big time. Since the investments are already made, and nearly all viable Top 100 market FMs have HD, they will stay in place, and we will se what the end game is.. AM, as a band, is dead, so, short of having AM radios spit out gold coins, nothing is going to help AM stations...- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Eduardo - though you were an asshole with me yearssssss ago in here (under another monicker), telling me I didn't hear a station that apparently you could never log, though it was proven I DID hear the station.ahem I will ask you this question and you can look into your crystal ball and give me the answer for the archives. Are you trying to say or are others, that there will be "literally" no AM radio stations? I will paint the picture so there is no misunderstanding in what I am asking.

Among these will be public radio stations, religious stations, etc., and if the band were that empty, you can bet there would be an uptake on pirate activities. |

Will there be day, and if yes - - when in approx. years - - that I will literally turn on the switch to my GE P-780 (Thank you Brenda Ann) and there will be just simply nothing but static? AM has lost nearly all it's audience, with the under age 50 group giving less than 10% of its radio listening to the band, Since advertisers put a brick wall at 49 or 55 years of age for campaigns, there is rapidly, even without the recession, falling revenue. The viable format on AM, news/talk, is moving to FM. When the significant news talkers in markets like Chattanoga, TN, are both on FM, it means there is nothing to make people go to AM for. And it is now absolutely proven that when the same format is moved to FM, the desirable younger 35-54 demos will listen, and a lot. So AM will be left with a few niche religious and ethnic and brokered options, and sputter on for many years, but with essentially no audience. In smaller markets, where there are not enough ethnic or preaching options, many will go dark. At some point, the band will clear out enough to be reorganized with fewer, higher powered stations, perhaps. But as the existing marketable listeners age and the formats move to FM, overall AM listening will hit under 5% in the next 5 to 7 years and then nobody will listen. In many markets, already, AM use is nearly that low... Scrantoon /NE PA is now around 8% AM use. |

Or names like Riekehoff, Fujimori, Kirchner, O'Higgins, Fourquets, Bonet, Hadad, Slim, Dassum, Nebot, Fox, Rosenblat, Pisterman, Smirnoff and many more, and all are Hispanics of some international prominence or local fame. It's not about names. Even the original OMB and Bureau of the Census definition, made before the 1980 Census, said that the quality of being Hispanic is related to the culture of or derived from the usage of the Spanish language. You are NOT Hispanic, boy! But feel free to get your panties in a knot and have a hissy fit! |

As someone who has never watched Saturday Night Live but has watched Sábado Gigante, one's culture is a product of one's life experience, family and circle of friends. Once again, you are full of ****, 'Eduardo'. You are not Hispanic. Culture is a product of environment. I am proud to not be a product of an environment that spawned a bigot such as you. Yeah, Cleveland is a rough place to grow up culturally! I left Cleveland in early adolescence, Early? although I grew up in a multilingual home... the "other" 50 years of my adolescence and adult life have either been in Latin America or in totally Hispanic communities and environments in the US. Nice try; culture is a product of environment. Nice try: you're full of ****, boy! |

WiMax is developed and deploying; a number of markets are on the air under ClearWire technology. There are plenty of things on the "old" agenda that are not going to happen due to the economy, and HD is just one of them. If HD radio actually served a mass market, then, by now, it would be sufficiently established that the poor economy would only be delaying HD radio's potential competitors. It took FM over 3 decades to develop. While the HD2 concept came mostly from the NPR affiliates who wanted more programming, the opportunities in specialized, second tier formats do exist. Whether the economy will allow that to be developed remans to be seen. How many current stations even approach the limits of dynamic range of FM? Here, there were a couple of classical stations, but one has been gone for a few years. They can't, mostly because of noise floor concerns in the listening environment. In the case of the HD1 channel, there is an option for quieter environments now. Since this is a DXer's forum, shouldn't HD radio discussions be taken to mean AM IBOC by default, rather than FM? There is no FM DX? That's now one of the more interesting areas of DXing. And how about the sound of HD AM? It is good, but the issue is audio sources. News stations that use cellulars and other compressed sources for reports can sound horrible because of the addition of different codecs. The real issue is that AM, on today's receivers and in today's noisy environment, is dying and is very old technology. |

A denial from you, in fact, is an affirmation of truth. Hell, you are the person who denies that AM confirmations of reception are called "veries" despite hundreds of reams of DX News, DX Monitor, Radex, NNRC bulletins, etc., containing evidence to the contrary. |

Actually Am NewsTalkers can survive very well, but it means actually being a local community radio station! Doesn't mean you can't have Glen Beck, it means being more than a repeater of national news pretending to be local. It means investing in talent again, providing real local news. It also means serving your niche very well, adults 35+ Radio lost the digital war to the internet and Ipods. Radio doesn't matter to kids anymore, like it did when you and I grew up. Other devices have replaced radio. Radio is about people, Radio is merely linear organization of sound. The transmission layer is inconsequential. |
