I do not know of any New Media Business Models that

Takes and Existing Franchise (Radio Station) and creates
a new Income Stream with greatly reduced Capital Cost :
Potentially Expands the Income and Inceases Profits.
- No, but the fact that it doesn't address problems that

- other.
Actually -imho- It is hard for IBOC "HD" Radio not to succeed
as part of the declining Media which is AM & FM Radio.
"HD" Radio may simply keep the Patient Alive Longer
-and- At-the-Same-Time allow the present AM & FM Radio
Broadcasts {Media Corporations} to Expand into 'New'
Media themselves.
The present day Media Corporations that Focus Solely
on Radio Broadcasting may be Dinosaurs in the making.
* They now have to begin [ASAP] to View Themselves
as Pan-Media {All Forms of Media} Corporations; and not
simply as Radio Broadcasters {Radio Station Owners}.
* They have the Financial Where-with-All and Expertise
to Transistion and Transformer themselves into what they
need to be : To Be in Business for the next 50~75 Years.
Examples of Dinosaur Business Thinking :
* Railroads did not think of themselves as a Transportation
Business and naturally expand into the Airline Industry.
* Kodak though of itself as a Photo Company and naturally
not expand into the Imaging {Zerox} Industry.
* Silicon Valley was born because AT&T and IBM thought
that their business was their business and they both lost
business and market share as a result of that thinking.

- - actually produce the Income Streams that present day
- - AM & FM Radio do - Enlighten Me Please !
- I didn't think we were talking about today. I thought we
- were talking about the future, when HD radio will be pitted
- against alternatives that are actually desired by the
- listening public.
Today is all I have - Who Truly Knows . . .
What The Future May Bring.
- Other media offer thousands of audio streams.
But 'Free' Over-the-Air AM/FM Radio is so easy to acces
and Listen to;and for me it is a technology that I 'feel'
comfortable with. Maybe a younger Consumer of Audio
will find and use all those thousand of Audio Streams
-but- Not 'i' in the Digital Here-and-Now.
- - Actually -imho- It is hard for IBOC "HD" Radio not to succeed
- - as part of the declining Media which is AM & FM Radio.
- If "succeed" simply means destroying analog AM and
- despoiling a big chunk of spectrum, sure.
For the Media Corporations who own "The Franchise"
{AM & FM {Radio Stations} and for the AM & FM Radio
Listening Public who simply Listen to their Local Radio
Broadcasting : Your Statement Has No Value.
* The "HD" Radio Stations will have a Sellable Product
that they believe is better than old Analog.
* The "HD" Radio Listeners will have an Audio Product
that they believe is better that the old Analog.
+ To Both Groups Destroying 'old' Analog AM Radio will
be a Good Thing "In The Name of Digital Progress"
- A Big Chuck of Spectrum is something that Your
Basic Radio Listener does not understand :
They Know the AM and FM Radio Bands and the
Value that they place on them is the : 2, 3, 4, 5 or
maybe 6 Local Radio Stations that : "They Call Their Own".
# Radio Listening : It's About 'Choice' : It's About "Me"
It's Can Be A Selfish Act -especially- When the Radio
Listener puts on a Pair of Headphones and Isolates
Themselves {IN} Their Own Little World {Audio Cocoon}.
- However, if it means surviving and flourishing as a
- business, it has no chance and does not even appear
- to have been intended for success.
That is clearly not My View of the Future of "Free"
Over-the-Air AM & FM Radio : I Believe [Have Faith]
that "Free" Over-the-Air AM & FM Radio will be around
for many more Years; and that a Significant Number
{Large Percentage} of Audio Consumers in the Future
will 'choose' "Free" Over-the-Air AM & FM Radio as
one of their major {if not their primary} sources of
Audio Entertainment.
- - "HD" Radio may simply keep the Patient Alive Longer
- - -and- At-the-Same-Time allow the present AM & FM
- - Radio Broadcasts {Media Corporations} to Expand
- - into 'New' Media themselves.
- My guess is that HD radio will be a form of euthanasia.
- It will quicken the overall decline.
That would not be "My Guess" -but- That is just a 'guess'
for I am only a Simple Consumer of "Free" Over-the-Air
AM & FM Radio.
- - Examples of Dinosaur Business Thinking :
- - * Railroads did not think of themselves as a Transportation

- - * Silicon Valley was born because AT&T and IBM thought

- - business and market share as a result of that thinking.
- I would add HD radio to the list.
