Patrick -
Enjoyed your thoughts re IBOC. Encouraging, conversion costs might prohibit station from implementation, or could cause it to go off air. Encouraging. Have no intention of buying digital radio to enjoy the miracle of 'traffic info texting'. I bristle at some bunch of cheap suits at IBOC thinking they can render our existing radios as worthless curios in need of 'upgrade and license'.
Delighted that your contacts in the business pronounce IBOC unworkable. To hear trade mags tell it, IBOC is greatest thing since fitted sheets. Never mind skywave, when people realize the blanket jamming of their favorite out of town station is due to Ibiquity/qWeerChannel's improved 'service to customers', they'll be irked.
That this system took so long to gain approval and acceptance indicates much common sense opposed it. What was ultimate deciding factor in its favor?
