[Chuck]

According to Radio Magazine:

HD Radio Alliance to Commence Round Two in Marketing Drive
The next phase of the HD Digital Radio Alliance's $200 million HD Radio awareness and marketing initiative will begin on Monday, Nov. 13. An alliance press release said the campaign will promote Circuit City as the initiative’s first “big box” retailer; the expansion of Radio Shack’s national roll-out to new markets; and the reduction of JVC’s in-dash, automotive receiver price to $199. The promotional push will also headline consumer rebates up to $100 that are currently available for select receiver models. More at:

It will be a total failure, just like the first phase !

Gee. We're changing the tone in here about as well as W changed the tone in Washington.

There is no reason to believe this unplanned, unorganized joke of a rollout will succeed. What tone - I just stated that it has been a total failure and a joke, which it has. Oh, big second phase ! Just like the Brazilian HD Radio Cartel getting "aggressive" - yea, they have to be aggressive and "push" HD Radio on the public ! Oh, I'm scared !

I guess the real question is "What happened to Round One?" Or as Rich Wood says, "Searching for Carmen Ibuzz."

And, how many days ago did you originate, "Crying Over Spilled Milk" - let's see... November 7th ! Here are you originating, and continued comments throughout the thread:

"Since the HD Radio rollout isn't going to be stopped by the 10 or so whiners in this forum, let me ask about your future plans...When nighttime AM-IBOC becomes reality, and the FCC has given HD in general its blessing, what on Earth are you going to do with your free time ?Continue to run aroud with the internet equivalent of tin foil hats on decrying the technology and looking like kooks? Doubtful... I don't really have a lot invested in the success of HD. I'm just curious to know how the crybabies are going to handle it."

It would be nice if the discussions here could be a bit more substantive.

What I'm saying is your post above:

Doesn't really do anything to further the discussion. It's fine that you think it will be a failure - but why not at least try to contribute to the discussion by saying why you think it will be a failure.

Simply dropping bombs like that doesn't really add much. HD Radio needs better content - and so does this forum!

You and pullitin need to stop posting antagonizing threads - your comments do not further the dicussions on the board, only to antagonize - Mr. Rightous ! I would not consider my comments bombs - if you take my attacking IBOC personally, that is YOUR problem ! We all know why IBOC has been, and will be a failure - no comments required ! Gosh, who just posted CBP's study/presentation of IBOC to the NAB - well, that pretty much settles the issues of IBOC's interference and poor coverage !

Obviously, you're free to do whatever you choose. I'm just saying it would be nice to read some substance along with the incessant jabs.

I am free, as you have been, to criticize, or praise, IBOC - if you don't like it, then go somewhere else - BTW, I have originated many threads of substance. As I said, stop jabbing vsa and the rest of us, with you and pullitin originated antagonizing, non-substance threads.
