No Part 15 operators are not 'pirates'. However, people who steal the programming of others, and badget it as their own...i.e. broadcasting internet streams without permission...sounds like piracy to me!
By all the interference caused by the IBOC sidebands....EasyPeazy said:How exactly is it "mucking up" your AM band? Care to share any recordings of this muck?

Another clueless wreck... You have no reason to believe if I DO simulcast another webstream that I already have their permission... instead YOU start calling others pirates too?
Tell me are you also paying RIAA for using music on the Podcasts too? Would RIAA like to see your website too?
It's not very nice to call people what they're not!
Thank you!

They always say 'I do just fine financially' when in reality all they make is peanuts... good luck with that one. :
Funny how you don't post where you air your talent or a site so anyone can listen to that so called talent here, we just get hearsay on your part!

Now lets talk real world. What size audience do you service? Any one of the top 15 or so stations in my market is servicing hundreds of thousands of listeners. Can your stream or transmissioons even be received by thoughsands of people simultaniously? I'm not being insensitive but I am trying to put this discussion into the real world.

As for stations with hundreds of thousands of listeners at any one time, I suggest that is only even remotely possible for the very largest top rated stations, in the very largest markets, not representative of the average radio station nor are major markets where most stations are located.

I live and work in the number 1 market in the country. in my area where 15 million people live, and were the broadcast bands are packed,

Yet the same "professional broadcasters" also stream on the worldwide internet, and according to Mike Walker have a majority of the streaming audience (wrong). Does that make them unprofessional or amateur broadcasters?
So you say 15 stations in the nation's biggest market consistently have "hundreds of thousands of listeners". Out of the other 11,000 radio stations the FCC licenses how many more do you think have similar numbers? Not many.
Yes, hundreds of thousands of simultaneous listeners are not only possible over the internet, but there are also thousands of high quality video streams running at the same time.

The truth is so simple that it is obvious to all except DXers and Luddites like you.
1. HD sounds better, both on AM and FM
2. HD vastly improves AM, and may have some hope of rescuing a dying band.
3. HD does not interfere with any signal with any statistically significant listening.
4. HD does not interfere inside the protected contours of any station, AM or FM.
5. HD is a long-term enhancement for terrestrial radio, and gives extra quality and extra channels to the listener.
The few affected parties will have to take their R390's and make an artificial reef off the coast of your Cay.

60% of the US population is in the top 100 markets alone. And 30% of all of radio's ad revenues are in the top 10 markets. So the bulk of listening and the bulk of revenues are in very few markets and among very few stations.
Even in a market near the bottom of the top 100, over a q8uarter-million local listenrs tune in each week.

At the time of posting:
Current Statistics:
Listeners - 272,830
You are talking about radio revenues, and a weekly cume of 250,000. That is listenership spread out over an entire week. How many simultaneous listeners is that?
So your point, as usual, is irrelevant to the discussion, and you are you confused between simultaneous listeners and weekly cumulative listeners.
A weekly cume of 250,000 works out to a quarter hour average simultaneous listenership of less then 500 listeners.
(18 rating hour days x 7 days a week x 4 quarter hours = 504 divided into the number of weekly cume listeners).
504 into 250,000 = 496 (averaged) quarter hour listeners. A far cry from the hundreds of thousands you imply.

1. HD sounds better, both on AM and FM HD hisses all over both bands and cuts AM fidelity in half.
2. HD vastly improves AM, and may have some hope of rescuing a dying band. Not a chance, since almost no one is buying the HD radios.
3. HD does not interfere with any signal with any statistically significant listening. Prove it.
4. HD does not interfere inside the protected contours of any station, AM or FM. You can't proove that one either, since it is not true.
5. HD is a long-term enhancement for terrestrial radio, and gives extra quality and extra channels to the listener. Only if the public is willing to replace all their radios, (not happening) otherwise the HD buzz is a disaster. Also, it jams the "stations between the stations" so you actually get from HD radio is fewerw stations, not more.
