"HD Radio Wal-Mart Style"

Yeah, I turn to blogs to figure out how I should view the news. 'Cause God knows I'm not smart enough to figure it out myself!

The average readership of an individual blog? THREE!

We all know, who Jerry Del Colliano is: Professor of Music Industry at USC Former TV and Radio Broadcaster Founder of Inside Radio.

You see, Jerry is highly-qualified and is in the unique position, as Professor of Music Industry at USC, to have daily access to Gen Y, and knows, exactly what the younger generation desires, and it is not HD Radio.
 
Actually, 700, Jerry's resumé is even more impressive than that.

In the late 1960's, while still a student at Temple U., he started doing news in the evening on "Famous 56" WFIL/Phila., when it was one of the most important Top 40 stations in the country (having just knocked off Storer's WIBG, or "Wibbage"). So he learned early on what it was like to be part of a ratings monster in a major market.

A few years later, he got out of broadcasting and founded Inside Radio. In his latter days with IR, he was a constant critic of the effects on consolidation, made a lot of enenmies, and had some high profile lawsuits.

Of course, IR now belongs to Clear Channel, and is little more than a cheerleader for the industry, which sees no need for a conscience -- or a scold, if you prefer -- like Jerry.

There, in broad strokes, is his earlier career. He was in radio when radio was really radio, not what CC and the other Wall Street-driven vulture corporations have made it today.
 
All I need to know about Jerry is he used to run a gossip rag without much regard for the truth.

Let's all follow the gossip monger!
 
Having been a successful jock, and even having run an industry paper, doesn't give one any special insight into technology. In fact, I'd say ANYONE who says that the future of ANY form of electronic media isn't digital is delusional.
