Lets see now - 400 Million spent on HD Radio ads and 300,000 radios
sold so far - and that's probably inflated.

Ok, that amounts to....... $1333.33 spent for each listener - roughly
speaking of course. Did I get the math right? Is that a valid way
of looking at it?.

Now its possible that there are two people listening to the same
radio. OK......That amounts to.....$666.66 per listener.

Help me out here. Doesn't seem too successful to me.

J.R. Stocks. Could you help me on this?

OK. Radiosophy is extending their sale of HD radios through March.
You can buy this fine plastic radio for $89.00 This might help.

Having to be put on "sale" means no sale. Here is a review from Wired
on that piece-of-crap:

"Remember those crappy $15 AM/FM/cassette radios from the 80s? The
HD100 looks just like one and has the sound to match. Basically a
glorified clock radio, it has a chintzy, careless interface with
speakers that spew a tinny unrefined sound. Frankly we'd be happier
keeping our money and sitting in silence."

If you look at my blog down the right hand side, you will quickly
figure out why HD radios are so expensive, yet cheaply made:

According to Hipporadio on Radio-Info, who is in the broadcast
industry annd electonic sales, only 130,000 HD radios sold, minus
returns, "trade" purchases, and giveaways - maybe, the true number is
around 50,000 in the hands of radio-geeks and consumers.

The only people I've read about buying them are station managers &
technophiles.

I'll be generous and give iBiquity 100,000 HD radios. So, there are
about 270,000,000 people, and dropping, that listen to radio. So,
wouldn't that leave $2,700 spent on each listener per HD radio?

RF Burns,

Good Post as long as you put IBOC or HD Radio at the Start of
the Subject-Line of these IBOC / HD Radio Posts : You will not
see me posting to them; except to actually make a Comment.

The $400M was spent to Try-and-Influence the 300M present
day Analog "Only" AM/FM Radio Listeners in the USA.

Doing-the-Math - For These Listeners would come out to be
about $1.33 for every 'potential' Radio Listener; that could be
"Sold-on-the-Idea" of "HD" Radio -as- Being Something They
Both "Want" {It's New ! } and Have-to-Have. {It's Digital ! }

$NOTE$ - A $1.33 per Radio Listener per Year with Hourly
and Daily Radio ADZs {PSAs} is : cheap, Cheap. CHEAP !
-note- As soon as Congress / The FCC Mandates All Digital
Mode AM/FM/DS Radios : All the former "HD" Radios ADZs
will be Income-Off-Setting "PSAs" for the Radio Stations.
This is a $-}} = I See Money Big Smile Happy Face $-}}

RF Burns - You are Focused on short-term 'results'.

While the "HD" Radio 'Alliance' is Interested in Long-Term
[Bottom-Line] "Results" over the next Decade for AM/FM Radio.
http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/rec..._id=1001614953

The "HD" Radio 'Alliance' has the Money and Commitment for
a 5~10 Year Program to Transition the USA to "HD" AM/FM
Radio; plus the Political Resources to Make-It-Happen by an
Act-of-Congress and/or Rulling by the FCC; which I suspect
is coming in the next 3 Years to require that all 'new' Radios
being Built or Imported in to the USA will be All Digital-Mode
AM/FM/DS "HD" Radios with Dual Mode IBOC and a Built-in
Direct-Satellite Interface.

NOTE - The Price Point of these All Digital-Mode AM/FM/DS
"HD" Radios will Drop Annually over a Period of several Years :
[ Using a 1/3 (-33%) Price Reduction per Year ]
$500 for Year # 1 $335 for Year # 2 $225 for Year # 3
$150 for Year # 4 $100 for Year # 5
SO - At the End of Five (5) Years the Price of the 'new' All
Digital-Mode AM/FM/DS "HD" Radios will be back at the
present day Price to US Consumers for the old Analog "Only'
AM/FM Radio that has been around for 40 Years.
