AM in rated markets can give you an idea of what is happening. In the 7
years since Fall 1998 to the Winter, 2006, AM in Los Angeles has gone
from
just under 24% of listening to 17%. That is a loss of about 30% of AM
listening in that period, or about 3% a year.

At the same time, the average age of AM listeners has crept up by over 5
years, and most of the listeners are in age groups that are of no
interest
to most advertisers.


None of this is news, you idiot.

I see. I fit is not news, what is the average share for AM in san Francisco?
El Paso? Atlanta? And what was it 8 years ago?

I see. You did not know. It _is_ news, but you are in denial that something
must be done.

Wrong again, fool.


What you and your marketing buddies
are wanting to do to AM is worse than its simply dying!

I see. taking something that is doing very poorly and not doing anything
would be the rightr step?


Doing nothing would be better than what you're doing. That's for sure.



I know no such thing. I know that AM has great potential with HD if the
roll
out of receivers (7 new ones announced this week, including a $149 after
market car radio) comes fast enough and stations promote it enough.


You are a liar and a troll.

A troll says something outrageous.

Everything you say is outrageous.


I am saying that new radios are coming out, and the price is going down.
True. Not outrageous.

I am saying that there are over 2000 stations comitted to HD, and there are
new HD 2 channels going on the air daily. . True. Not otrageous.


Oh, gee, we'd have no idea were it not for you. Get a grip, Ding Dong.


I am saying AM will die if the current trend continues another 5 years. This
is also true, and quite frightening.

Being a realist, I know that AM, where I started in radio, is a 90 year
old
medium and will definitely die if we do not improve it in a way that is
palpable by the listener, especially the under-45 crowd.


If it's put into the hands of scum like you, it will die immediately.

I have built, managed and programmed AMs for the last 42 years. The decline
is technology based, and can be corrected... with technology.

That's like "correcting" someone's crooked teeth by blowing their head
off.

You're a liar, a fool, a troll and a one of the few men I've ever known
who is accurate described by the term "bitch". Go ahead troll, troll
your little heart out.

What _is_ your problem?

Prancers_such_as_yourself.

You claim I am gay.

Once again, ****stain, where did I make that claim?

Answer the question... (epithet exorcised)

The term "prancer" is a common demeaning term for gays.

If you can't take the heat, go troll some other newsgroup. Loser.

David Eduardo,

Why don't you come over to our group. We would love to chat with you
and learn more about IBOC. Just come on over and forget about

Well, over $300,000,000 has already been spent on HD installs. There is no
lie in stating that HD is happening, and there is a major commitment by
every large broadcaster except Salem to the technology. There is also great
concern about preventing the loss of AM, and HD is being emplyed as the ONLY
solution.

If you think this is exaggeration, trolling, a lie or whatever, you are
simply trying to cover the sky with you hand.

You mean you're trying to pull the wool over our eyes, don't you? You
are a liar and a shill. Like I said, thinking you can 'save' AM with HD
is like thinking you can "correct" a toothache by blowing the person's
head off. Any one who denies this is simply afraid to face stark
realities.

David,

Although I have my own problems with the closed little marketing bubble of
which you seem to be an avatar, I have admired the way you have refused to
rise to the bilious persoanal attacks to which you have been subjected in
this and other fora.

You have always seemed to be a guy with whom I might wish to have lunch,
should you be in the Bay Area.

Don't let dxie get to you now.

You, on the other hand, are a simply a nutcase with a radio waiting for

And you are simply a prancing fake Hispanic.

Your keyboard is stuck. It keeps producing the same response, no matter what

The problem with AM, in everybody's proprietary research, is that the sound
is such a barrier that nobody in the most recent two generations will listen
to it. Until the sound is "fixed" there is no way to prevent the decline,
ageing and eventual obsolescence of AM. Already, 75% of the band's listeners
are over the age that advertisers are interested in.

In LA, which is actually a heavier user of AM than many markets, less than
10% of the 12-24 listening is to AM. In 12-34, it is 6%, with 6 different
FMs each having more 12-34 listening than the entire AM band in that age
group.

You didn't know that, did you!
