Who said you had to give away your sources? You can be like IKnowItAll and just post it.
Like I said, if you don't contribute, don't bitch.

Either way whether he physically leaves Seattle or does his show remotely, you're still not going to hear him here.

Good God! If they pulled that with FM Stereo in the early '60s, we'd still be listening to CHR on AM! Technical improvements rarely make money. They just are. They keep the station relevant, especially these days with so much other technology we could be listening to instead of conventional radio. Don't tell me you're just going to put HD radio on the air right now and offer nothing better for programming than what is on the main analog signal? If that's the case, then HD radio is headed for the same heap as AM Stereo or FM Quad.
Like one of KBKS's promos for their HD signal.."Radio that sounds like a CD!" My buddy said "But wouldn't that still sound like...
a radio?"
