Hear 2.0 is basically a one man consultancy. Mercury is a good research
company, but among the smaller ones. I know nobody who has used it.

In other words, consider that consultants who do blogs are selling
something.

You are reading right from Mr Ramsey's website.

Hear 2.0 is a brand new company, and there is not much that indicates it has
any customers. It is part of a blog, for gawd's sake, not an enterprise.

Mark'sw radio research company does perceptual and music testing, just like
a couple of dozen other companies do. It is not the largest, like Coleman,
Critical Mass Media, Broadcast Architecture, Paragon, etc. It is not the
smallest, but is at the small side. It is hardly a trendsetter.

Heck, I have done projects for Susquehanna, Infinity, and a bunch of similar
companies in the US... and for some that are even bigger outside the US. I
could write about the same thing as what follows:

Mark is a good researcher. I admire a lot of what he has done. However, he
is off base on the HD thing and, as I have cited, is actually wrong on some
key facts... probably because he has not spent enough time reviewing the
history of broadcasting. He is a smart guy, and I doubt he would like you
using out of context his opinions.

DE,

Mark Ramsey offers some interesting insight and intriguing questions.

You should write a point-by-point rebuttal and market it for print in a

trade publication.

Actually, get onto the Hear2.0 home page, scroll down, and search on,
"HD radio" - ther e is a wealth of information, that DE won't be able
to rebutt.

You are truly, "king of the spin-doctors" - and who was one of his

HD works for its announced purpose, which is improving local listening to
local stations.

Unless something out of the wild happens with RIAA (which would require a
new chipset design for the "flag") there is nothing stopping HD at this
point, despite what consultants who seldom see the inside of a radio station
say.

Interesting idea, but most publications have beaten HD to death... RW is
full of pros and cons. Interestingly, the cons are all from folks who don't
run stations or are at stations that don't want to spend any capex dollars.

The end result is that HD is now on 1000 stations, with another 1000 on the
way and another 1000 committed for. Just the first 1000 reach over 70% of
the US population.

Irrelevant. You are BUSTED.
