Have you listened to any AM stations in HD? A number of studies which have been conducted have specifically excluded trained ears, musicians, and audiophiles, in favor of largely uninvolved, uninterested, and unhearing individuals, This is not true. 9 out of 10 doctors also recommended cigarette smoking to aid and improve digestion. Where is this study? The only meaningful studies that will determine HD Radio's technological solutions to improving audio quality will be studies that measure noise, distortion, and precision of reproduction, Here, HD falls quite flat. I have not seen a study where people can tell a difference in any of the attributes mentioned above. However, people are not buying it for "audio improvment". "People" aren't buy it at all. Comparatively speaking. Well...people aren't buying RADIOS at all....so it's a non-starter. If HD Radio offered the vastly sought after programming you claim, and the audio quality is so superior, radios would be flying off the shelves. They're not. I didn't say "vastly sought after"...I would use the term alternative programming. It's more niche. I already addressed the fact that people are not moved by the argument of quality. Hard reality. Sales tells the story that marketing wants not to have told. Again, the whole story is that there is apathy about ALL radio, Ham, SWL, Scanners, XM, HD, AM.... Does sales tell a story about that too? And sales demonstrate that the pubic isn't buying what iBiquity is selling. No, it doesn't. There is no "sales finish line"... As has been said before...content and programming is what people go to radio for. There has been no effort made by iBiquity or stations themselves to sell HD based on the additional formats streams available. Thanks, for nothing. Your welcome. Let me know if you need any more. ;-) |
