It's all about content no matter the delivery system. That said, you must reach the market you serve with a clear, quality signal or stream.

Right.<br /><br /> Where you once heard your favorite FM stations, do you now only hear an obnoxious outhouse-fly buzz? That's HD Radio.<br /><br /> Engineers call HD, 'iBuzz', because that's about all it does - it buzzes like an outhouse fly as unsold HD radios pile up on store shelves and HD stations drive away listeners with their jamming.<br /><br /> AM is worse. AM HD ruined night listening, particularly in the northeast, where a handful of AM HD stations jam AM with noise that sounds like a busted airhose.<br /><br /> That's by design so that you only hear the HD station.<br /><br /> Why on earth did they think that hamfisted soviet-style Command Economy tactics would win over listeners? <br /><br /> HD also jams itself. Here in SW FL, 970 WFLA, Tampa hopped on the HD bandwagon - and now transmits weakened signal plagued by a tiresome background hiss.<br /> <br /> Though you want to hear Glenn Beck or Limbaugh, after a while you tune them on another station to get away from WFLA's hiss.<br /><br /> 820 in Tampa, by comparison, dumped HD after several years of jamming stations for no benefit - no radios sold, no new listeners, just annoyed former ones.<br /><br /> HD Radio is to present day as Uranium Mine Stocks were to the Fab Fifties.<br /><br /> HD Radio is the Chicago Way of Radio.<br /><br /> No wonder people ran from it.<br /><br /> Paul Vincent Zecchino<br /> Mansota Key, Florida<br /> 01 December, 2009paul vincent zecchinonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639893053950014759.post-46426020672352231862009-11-30T17:21:51.565-05:002009-11-30T17:21:51.565-05:00"Did you see the e-mail from Radio Ink's ..."Did you see the e-mail from Radio Ink's Eric Rhodes claiming they sold 50% more HD radios than their "shipment"?

Here is Eric's response, when we called his bluff:<br /><br />"I'm not a tech guy and in spite of the accusations much of this has been discussion within the tech trades I'm sure, which I don't read." <br /><br />Yea, so Eric has no clue about the problems with HD Radio. What a shitbag. Yup, it's the same game played by Struble - just like with the Zune HDs, initial supplies were very limited, to make it appear that the items are selling out, in demand.

As Job's phones start losing numbers, he may need that free publicity from the HD Radio Alliance. For failing/failed products, like the Zune, call Bob Struble at 443-539-4290.

However, the intent of those supporting DAB were different. There was an attempt to create interesting and original programming. Where DAB fell short was in trying to create mainstream formats for DAB only. They were not up to par. With HD radio in America it seemed like a scam right from the get go with Clear Channel leading the way with format labs and even parking the HD radio alliance at their San Antonio headquarters. It also had all the major chains and NPR invest heavily in the technology which turned out to be poor move. The problem the radio groups have is backing out of this mess. They really cannot do it without infuriating their shareholders. In short, the radio groups have a real expensive problem which they cannot afford to clean up. Radio cannot give up HD radio. Pure and simple. It would create chaos at the radio groups and you would really have CEO beheadings.But by not being able to give it up they will continue throwing good money after bad. HD radio will eventually blow up and go away just like the old UHF Pay TV, New Coke and other botched schemes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639893053950014759.post-56186408528819509032009-11-30T15:23:35.179-05:002009-11-30T15:23:35.179-05:00This is really bush league.

(Okay, Eric - how many did you ship? You bought three, you sold six? You bought four, you sold two?)<br />Therefore, the people at Ibiquity immediately contacted the manufacturer and ordered another shipment, which they believe will be in the U.S. and available for shipment in time to arrive for Christmas. (That's rich! Where is this secret manufacturer who will make more radios just for you?) We thought you should know in case you want to get in on the next shipment before Christmas.
