If HD is really the loser some would have us believe, it
will
still
linger
because the stations that already have it won't have any
incentive
to
ditch the
gear they've acquired, because it wouldn't bring much beyond
scrap
metal
value
in the used market.
Of course whenever I listen to the table radio in the other
room
it'll
probably
be an HD station.
...and any listener feedback from me will likely reflect my
satisfaction
with
the improvements that technology brings.
So what's a station GM to do, keep what some listeners (the
ones
that
respond)
say they like, or listen to a few querulous snivelers on
usenet
which
is
known
as a forum for whiners?


Neither. They'll look at the dismal sales curve for the
receivers
and
the
near zero Arbitron ratings for their IBOC streams and
eventually
conclude
that it isn't worth the extra electricity to keep the IBOC
running.




There's still the matter of investment. With well into
6
figures
for
a
single station, manglement, investors, and corporate interests
will
not
simply let it die and go away. Like AM stereo, which actually
worked,
it
took nearly 20 years to go away.

But, UNlike AM stereo, which had a "marketplace based" approach
and
competing standards all on the air at once....HD Radio standard
has
been
chosen. There is no battle among the formats on the air.
Listeners
can
enjoy it from the get go.

With AM Stereo, one had to decide which system to buy...and
then
could
only
listen to certain stations.

HD learned from that fiasco...and is avoinding the pitfalls.

The uptake is slow...

So? It's not in a race? Apathy is everywhere in radio,
satelite,
SW,
AM,
FM, HD. Consumers aren't rushing to do anything with radio.

the technology is flawed

Debatable.

and the implementation is poor.

Implementation is pretty good! Consumers in most places can pick
up
an
HD
radio and start enjoying it immediately. (Unlike the AM Stereo
"marketplace
solution".)

But the investment has been spectacular.

In the scheme of things, not really.



As Mrs Iacocca said: Nice Dodge.


Not a dodge, it was an answer to your points.

No, it wasn't. You answered nothing. You simply dismissed the
ancillary
AM Stereo comparisons. And then, deleted the point.

Like I said. Nice dodge.

Not at all...if you open your mind and think a bit.


Oh, yeah,...you're right. I'll get some fox entrails so I can
divine
your meaning. Since you deleted the actual point of my message,

But then again, your reputation is to always want the last word and
argue
meaningless points endlessly, so I should expect it.


When you delete the point and argue the trivia, you should expect
to
get
called on it, yes.


When there is no point, and people ignore the diatribe....you should
expect
to get called on it.

But feel free to try to get in the last word, and argue meaningless

endlessly. ;-)


No, that's your specialty.

Here we go! Your repurtation preceeds you maus.

Run along and go find Telemon to play with.

Either that or find a meaninless thread you canextend in perpetuity.



Whatever happened to Telamon? He disappeared a few days after Eduardo

The Walt Disney Co. and ABC Studios filed plans Wednesday to expand
Disney's legendary Golden Oak movie ranch, creating a massive high-tech
soundstage and production complex that would bring more than 2,800 new
full- and part-time jobs to the booming Santa Clarita Valley.

Plans filed with Los Angeles County call for six soundstages, plus
production offices and storage areas for props and costumes, according
to a statement from ABC.

"By connecting the sound stage to an array of opportunities at the movie
ranch, we're creating a synergy," said Richard Ballering, executive
director of production for ABC. "The proposed plan would allow us to
have four established productions and six new ones."

While the estimated cost of the project was not released, officials said
the expansion could generate an additional $1.3 million in annual
revenues for Los Angeles County coffers.

If the project is approved, it would be completed by 2013 at the
earliest, officials said.

The 890-acre Golden Oak Ranch at State Route 14 and Placerita Canyon
Road has been owned by Walt Disney Productions since 1959. Its sets have
been used for movies, television and commercial productions including
"Lassie," "Bonanza," "X-Files" and "Sons of Anarchy."

If HD is really the loser some would have us believe,
it
will
still
linger
because the stations that already have it won't have
any
incentive
to
ditch the
gear they've acquired, because it wouldn't bring much
beyond
scrap
metal
value
in the used market.
Of course whenever I listen to the table radio in the
other
room
it'll
probably
be an HD station.
...and any listener feedback from me will likely
reflect
my
satisfaction
with
the improvements that technology brings.
So what's a station GM to do, keep what some listeners
(the
ones
that
respond)
say they like, or listen to a few querulous snivelers
on
usenet
which
is
known
as a forum for whiners?


Neither. They'll look at the dismal sales curve for
the
receivers
and
the
near zero Arbitron ratings for their IBOC streams and
eventually
conclude
that it isn't worth the extra electricity to keep the
IBOC
running.




There's still the matter of investment. With
well
into
6
figures
for
a
single station, manglement, investors, and corporate
interests
will
not
simply let it die and go away. Like AM stereo, which
actually
worked,
it
took nearly 20 years to go away.

But, UNlike AM stereo, which had a "marketplace based"
approach
and
competing standards all on the air at once....HD Radio
standard
has
been
chosen. There is no battle among the formats on the air.
Listeners
can
enjoy it from the get go.

With AM Stereo, one had to decide which system to
buy...and
then
could
only
listen to certain stations.

HD learned from that fiasco...and is avoinding the
pitfalls.

The uptake is slow...

So? It's not in a race? Apathy is everywhere in radio,
satelite,
SW,
AM,
FM, HD. Consumers aren't rushing to do anything with
radio.

the technology is flawed

Debatable.

and the implementation is poor.

Implementation is pretty good! Consumers in most places
can
pick
up
an
HD
radio and start enjoying it immediately. (Unlike the AM
Stereo
"marketplace
solution".)

But the investment has been spectacular.

In the scheme of things, not really.



As Mrs Iacocca said: Nice Dodge.


Not a dodge, it was an answer to your points.

No, it wasn't. You answered nothing. You simply
dismissed
the
ancillary
AM Stereo comparisons. And then, deleted the point.

Like I said. Nice dodge.

Not at all...if you open your mind and think a bit.


Oh, yeah,...you're right. I'll get some fox entrails so I
can
divine
your meaning. Since you deleted the actual point of my message,

But then again, your reputation is to always want the last word
and
argue
meaningless points endlessly, so I should expect it.


When you delete the point and argue the trivia, you
should
expect
to
get
called on it, yes.


When there is no point, and people ignore the diatribe....you
should
expect
to get called on it.

But feel free to try to get in the last word, and argue
meaningless
points
endlessly. ;-)


No, that's your specialty.

Here we go! Your repurtation preceeds you maus.

Run along and go find Telemon to play with.

Either that or find a meaninless thread you canextend in
perpetuity.



Whatever happened to Telamon? He disappeared a few days after
Eduardo
vanished.

And I thought I was in a meaningless thread.

You are....and looking forward to you extending it's life
forever.....and
ever...



No, only herpes is forever.

We'll see....not bad...a response in under :60 seconds.




I have a fast wireless in the bathroom.


Wouldn't want to keep this thread from dicussing anything meaningful.



You've not discussed anything meaningful so far, so I think you can call
it a hit.


Nor have you....yet you continue to post.

But then again, thats what we expect from you.
