: Interesting that Joel decides to speak out but not at his All Access but at David Martin's blog, more at the link. Big ups to Joel for having the brass and to David for putting it up but they are both rich guys that can get away with it.
: I am, however, not a fan of window dressing. Unless what's in the box is as pretty as the fancy outside packaging ... well you know the punchline here.
: Also, I'm not a fan of not knowing when to cut losses -- as in the current direction we are taking with HD Radio.
: If these formats on HD are so great, why aren't broadcasters putting them on standard AM or FM frequencies where they can be heard?
: Maybe they should!
Props to JD for tellin it like it is!
Broadcasters aren't putting these 'alternate' HD formats on full frequency stations because they're just that - 'alternate'. They're good but they're not something that's able to be taken full force, judged by research.
