Most of those FM's are locals that went dark, and the translators they took
with them. Some are stations that moved frequency and the original frequency
went dark at the same time the new one went online. The only one I know for
sure why it went dark was 104.5 in The Dalles, OR. It went out of business
recently after about 30 years on the air. It originally started as a small
local run by a paraplegic and gradually grew into a 100KW full service
station that could be heard pretty well on the east end of Portland (about
70 miles away).
The remainder were LPFM's, mostly run by churches, that probably either went
dark because of IBOC sideband interference or just figured it wasn't worth
their trouble to keep the station up and running (it's a lot more difficult
to maintain a radio station than all those churches thought when they
snarfed up all those LPFM frequencies!)
As Brenda Ann correctly notes, most of these are LPFMs, which are
non-commercial low power community stations that depend on volunteers to
operated. The rest are very rural and small town stations that appear to be
unsustainable.
The point you seem to be making is in no way proven by LPFMs surrendering
their licenses.

The present Number of US American Radio Stations that are
Authorized to Transmit IBOC "HD" Digital Radio Signals :
* AM = 271 out of a Total of 4778 ~ 5.7%
-fwiw- Ten Years Ago the Total AM Radio Stations

* FM = 1374 out of a Total of 9346 ~ 14.7%

The Future of Terrestrial Radio Broadcasting is FM Radio
and the Future of FM Radio is IBOC Multi-Channel "HD"
Radio :
The Answer to the Growth of Terrestrial Radio Broadcasting
in the USA is an Expanded FM Radio Band from 76 MHz to
88 MHz with 60 More FM Radio Channels and and more
available FM Radio Channels for the migration of former AM
Radio Stations to improve the Local Service Signal Levels
of those AM Radio Stations.

The top 3 groups, combined, own less than 10% of all radio stations in the

>If the owners of the stations and the FCC would get back to basics...local

People never ask for local programming. they ask for good and entertaining
programming. Remember, radios first several decades was based almost totally
on network national programming.
In tens of thousands of interviews with regular radio listeners all over the
country, I've never seen an interest in anything local save weather during
extreme conditions and the traffic reports. The overwhelming and
overpowering interest is in "listening to something I like" which means
good, entertaining programming. Nobody really cares where the studio is as
long as a show or whole format is appealing to a group of listeners.
And, of course, the early days of radio were based on non-local programming,
as is most TV viewed today.
I would add that there is a market for local sports talk, but only in
markets where there is a major sports franchise to talk about (NFL,
Baseball, etc.).
Agreed on everything else.

Is that another excuse why there are no records of your station ownership, oh
faux one?
There are all kinds of Ministry of Telecommunications records of the
licenses owned by Radio Musical, Cia. Ltda, and there are records showing
that, in May of 1964, my attorney, Dr. BenjamÃn Cevallos, incorporated that
company with me as the sole shareholder.
Very few radio stations or businesses of any kind are owned directly by a
person in their name... they are in corporations so that succession,
liability, taxation and other issues do not directly impact the personal
assets of the shareholder(s).

I've given you names of dozens of my employees at the time and many names of

Because the electricity was not reliable enough? No point in a fridge when

And I'm not gullible: I don't believe your fabrications and lies.
Were you high in the Andes where it's always cold? WAG
Closer.
Actually, and since dxAce is clueless, it was because storing food was
unnecessary since the cook would go to the market each morning at 5 and
bring fresh things for the day. Anything left over became the meals for the
dogs. To this day, I can't take most soft drinks or juices chilled or with
ice, as they don't taste good. In restaurants at the time, sodas were
brought at room temperature, and if you wanted them chilled, you had to ask
for a glass with ice.
At one time, the manager of ECASA (Ecuatoriana de Artefactos, S.A.) gave me
one of the first Ecuadorian made refrigerators. I ended up taking it to the
stations so employees could put snacks and stuff in it; at home it had no
use.

Wow! The cook!
Thanks for another great tale!
Quito is not cold except at night. It goes through all four seasons every
day; day highs can be near 80, and lows around 30 at 3 to 4 AM.
The reason was, as I mentioned earlier, that there was no need to
refrigerate anything. Everything was fresh daily, and nothing was kept more
than a day. No preservatives, no salt added to keep things "fresher" and so
on.
See how little you know?
In the middle class, a family would have a cook, a maid and a nanny and
probably a gardener even if they did not have a car. And they would send
their children to private schools with no exception.
Small groups of neighbors would also collectively hire a "sereno" or night
watchman who would patrol up and down the block and blow a whistle as he
passed each house, each time, to signify all was well.
In the upper class at that time (Latin America is generally demographically
divided in A, B, C, D, and E socioeconomic levels, A being upper and B being
middle with E being barter/unproductive) it was fairly usual to also have a
driver / messenger, too. Most middle and upper income homes were built with
rooms for 3 to 4 servants, and even condos had room for two (the others
might be day workers).
That's pretty much what I was thinking. Everything is
grown/picked/bought/caught/whatever fresh daily and not stored. Much of
the world operates this way.
BTW, saying dxace is clueless is like saying that SW or AM is dying.
Everyone knows this, but a few are still in denial.

What amazed me when I worked in Argentina was that the local diet included
red meat several times a week, yet there is seldom to be seen an overweight
Argentine. The answer is that the cattle are range grazed, on natual grass
and not stressed or hearded all the time. Of course, it tastes much better,
too.

You saying this make you appear clueless. DxAce is real sharp on the

The fresh food every day makes sense. My time in both coasts of Mexico
showed that to be the case but the condo's I stayed in were usually two
bedroom. The maids and other service workers lived in town just like
here. When I was looking at new home developments in Playa del carmen
they did not appear to have rooms for servants but I was always looking
in the tourist areas or nearby.

Lean fresh meat with no hormones will taste better. I generally stick to
fish and poultry.

You 'owned' not one single radio station. Yes, you may have ingratiated yourself
with a station or two in Ecuador (having Mommie send records, etc.), and even
answered a few reception reports (never using the faux name 'Eduardo', by the
way, which would have been logical as you were in South America, but then again,
you did not adopt that shtick until c. 2000).
And, your claim to having an amateur radio license whilst in Ecuador is
completely fraudulent.
Since YOU claim that evidence to the contrary is readily available, then why do
YOU not obtain said evidence and post it on your website? (Hose-A and Hose-B are
standing by to fabricate that material for you!).
Who is clueless? It be you, 'Eduardo'.
No, I did not own one radio station... I owed 12 on the air ones and a bunch
more CPs.

Your only basis for the claim is that in some book you have the call HC1DG
does not appear. The fact is, Ecuador's record keeping back then was pretty
deficient. In one case, I got three different grant numbers for 95.1 in
Quito, all with different calls.
And you don't understand things like being able to get a driver license by
sending an employee with a picture and a payment. Same worked for lots of
other things, too.

I don't have to prove anything to you. If you go by the "guilty till proven
innocent" theory, then you need to do this on your own.
You can't possibly disprove it.

Nah, it's the Unabomber wannabee with thousands of rounds of ammo in his
Holland house.
