Coming Soon: Radio's 'Most Significant Innovation' In Fifty Years

A Dec. 6 press conference has been scheduled for an announcement from "CEOs from the world's leading radio companies" that will officially reveal the industry's "most significant innovation" in a half-century. Public relations firm Brainerd Communicators, which represents Clear Channel, Cox Radio, Regent Communications and a handful of other radio companies, remains tight-lipped about what will be discussed next Tuesday.

One theory regarding the "innovation" is that it is a plan involving several groups to roll out a service using HD Radio spectrum, perhaps along the lines of a subscription-based service similar to the one Entercom CEO David Field has been touting for some time. Field even hinted to some forthcoming announcements along those lines during his company's Q3 earnings conference call on Nov. 4. Two tiny, orange half-circles, which look suspiciously like they were lifted from iBiquity's HD Radio logo, appear in the upper-left hand corner of Brainerd's announcement. R&R will be at the Dec. 6 press conference to provide you with details of what's to be revealed.

Re: It's it...

They will announce that all terrestrial broadcasts companies will merge into "RadioTerra". All musical programming will be done in Terra Haute, IN, and all talk programming will come from Sean Hannity's bedroom. FM will be music, AM will be talk.

The innovation comes from the plan to charge people $15/month to NOT recieve the broadcasts.

"We think that people will definitely want to pay," states a ClearChannel insider. "I mean, I wouldn't want to hear any of that crap, so I'll be one of the first to sign up!"

Arbitron is rumored to love the idea, as it will make their company even more useless, thereby confirming that they can continue to charge people for information that is inaccurately gathered and improplerly accounted for.<P ID="signature">______________

The FM'er will broadcast Martina McBrides
"Independence Day" 24/7 interspersed with
his pukeness himself -- Scott Shannon spewing
forth "You're listening to Dubya FM",... sorta'
like Jack and Bob FM.

As for the AM, it'll be Sean from his bedroom
professing his love for his life size George W
doll that he sleeps with every night, just in
case terrorists invade his ritzy New York
neighborhood.

Arbitrons will be mailed to potential listeners.
If you don't fill it out and return it, you will
immediately be labeled a terrorist, and be ordered
to run for the hills.
