You will never convince Real People that hd radio is any good.

I'm old enough that I heard the same thing said about FM!

I am heading back over to the Sears store in the morning, abouts nine
sompin hours from now.

Craftsman Plunge Cut 3'' Mini Circular Saw

I have been wanting me a little saw like that for a Long, Long
time.About $109.00 plus Mississippi RIP OFF sales tax, but what the
heck, I am going to buy me one of those little saws.Best of all, it
doesn't run on damn batteries.I Hate battery powered tools, they SUCK!

Then, from the Sears store, about a block and a half to the Goodwill
store www.shopgoodwill.com to see if that
Ethan Allen couch is still there, it probally is.

Move over doggy,,, you wants a cookie?
WOO WOO WOOF!

In most cases, HD does not even increase the power bill of a
transmitter plant by 10%... often much less. And the licence fee,
which is market based, is minimal. Many stations have leased HD3
channels for specialized programming, and are making money on that.

Only one significant group is approaching bankruptcy, and it is
unlikely that their FM HDs will be turned off.

"In these trying times, it should be pointed out that in most cases
adding IBOC dramatically increases electric bills. I did three build-
outs in Indianapolis and it almost doubled the power bills for the
transmitter sites. Multiply this across the board and it is untold
thousands of dollars a day going up in heat. If IBOC carriers were
turned off, a lot of jobs could be saved with that money."

In a development that could vastly improve HD Radio signal reception
and propel the digital radio service forward, iBiquity and NPR have
reached an agreement for an HD power increase. It would give all HD
FMs a FOUR-FOLD POWER HIKE, but some stations could get an EVEN BIGGER
BUMP."

Name one, and post a link to back that up.

I don't know what the link might be....to their balance sheet?

But CBS is doing it in plenty of places. (Do you think they are giving it
away for free?)

And someone is doing Russian something or other on one of the NYC HD's.
