Apparently your definition of "trolling" is related to your desire to
hide
from the truth and the changes necessary to save AM radio.

If AM is going to die, it's going to die; but it'll die much, much
faster if *******s like you have your way.

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.

And LA is not the worst of cases, because there is such a huge collection of
ethnic groups that are only served on AM (staitons in farsi, Chinese
dialects, Korean, etc) that many AMs are still prosperous due to serving a
niche not served on AM. In markets like Columbus, GA or Wichita, things are
even worse.

And of course, you know
that, and you know that we know it.

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.

But, being a troll, your goal is
only to start trouble. You obviously have way too much time on your
hands...

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.

None of this is news, you idiot. What you and your marketing buddies
are wanting to do to AM is worse than its simply dying!

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.

I see. taking something that is doing very poorly and not doing anything

You are a liar and a troll.

A troll says something 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.

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

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

Nothing wrong with the technology, 'tard boy. AM (MW) comes in just fine here.
And it comes in even better without the HD/IBOC QRM.

Go shill your wares elsewhere.

There is everything wrong with the technology. It sounds so inferior that
nobody who "grew up" on FM will touch it, as it is irritating. Two
generations now have no use for AM. The only users, like you, are old farts
who do not look at the future or have lost most of their hearing.

That must have made the DXing difficult. Unless you made it up. Another

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.
