Eduardo - Bonneville pulls iChannel Music ! LMFAO!!!
PocketRadio
Bonneville has pulled the plug on its iChannel Music HD Network and
streaming. For the most part, it has replaced the HD multicast with
WorldBand Media content (brokered ethnic programming). iChannel
allowed indie bands to upload their music online for consideration.
The network included Chicago at 101.9 HD2;
Washington D.C. at 103.5 HD2; Salt Lake City at 102.7 HD2; St. Louis
at 101.1 HD2 and Phoenix at 92.3 HD2. The stream is dead, but the site
remains: www.ichannelmusic.com.
From the site: “Well today is iChannel's last day. It's hard to
believe that it's been 3 years since we started. And I think I speak
for everyone here when I say no matter how disappointed I am at the
moment, I wouldn't trade my time here for anything in the world. I've
had the opportunity to work with some extremely cool and talented
people over the past few years and made some life-long friends.
So I just want to say thanks to everyone that's been a part of making
my time at iChannel so special...Ken, Kane, Rider, Virg, JK, Huck, Big
Red, Dante, Aimster, Presly, Sky, Julie, Logan, AC, Matt, Eric, Sammy,
Jamie, Zip, Christy, Josh, the other interns whose names I never
bothered to learn, and the corporate folks who made it all possible.
It was a pleasure working with all of you. And also thanks to all of
the bands. (Don't worry...not going to mention all of them by name).
And finally, thanks to everyone who tuned in to iChannel, checked out
the website, or came to our events. Without you, we would have just
been talking to ourselves.”
RBR/TVBR observation: If it isn’t making money, the plug will get
pulled. That’s what most likely happened here. WorldBand Media brings
in the dollars instead. We commend Bonneville for giving it a shot—it
allowed radio to expose a lot of new, unsigned indie bands from around
the world. CC Radio's eRockster HD2 format is still around at a good
handful of stations and still outstanding. If that gets shuttered, a
good bunch of us just might be done with HD Radio listening
altoghether.

How is this bad news for FM HD-Radio and HD2 Channels.
1 - They had an un-profitable HD2 Network featuring
their own {Bad} Programming.
2 - They replaced that with PAID "World Band Media"
(Brokered Ethnic Programming) on :
Chicago at 101.9 MHz on HD2
Washington D.C. at 103.5 MHz on HD2
Salt Lake City at 102.7 MHz on HD2
St. Louis at 101.1 MHz on HD2
Phoenix at 92.3 MHz on HD2
THAT ADDS UP TO FIVE [5] HD2 Radio Stations
On-the-Air and Five Additional Revenue Streams
for those Five 'Local FM HD-Radio Stations and

Wrong! Radio is about serving the public and making a little profit on
the side. It is not about using tired formulae to reduce the
programming to Lowest Common Denominator mediocrity. No art; very bad
science.

Where did you come up with that? In business, profit comes first, not
"making a little profit on the side". Without profits you can't "serve the
public".

" The obligation to serve the public interest is integral to the
"trusteeship" model of broadcasting--the philosophical foundation upon
which broadcasters are expected to operate. The trusteeship paradigm is
used to justify government regulation of broadcasting. It maintains that
the electromagnetic spectrum is a limited resource belonging to the
public, and only those most capable of serving the public interest are
entrusted with a broadcast license. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) is the government body responsible for determining
whether or not applicants for broadcast license meet the requirements to
obtain them and for further regulation of those to whom licenses have
been granted.
Interpretation of the "public interest, convenience and necessity"
clause has been a continuing source of controversy. Initially, the
Federal Radio Commission implemented a set of tests, criteria which
would loosely define whether or not the broadcasting entity was
fulfilling its obligation to the listening public. Secifications
included program diversity, quality reception, and "character"
evaluation of licensees. These initial demands set a precedent for
future explications of the public interest.
The pre-television "Blue Book", as it was popularly known, was developed
by the FCC in 1946 to evaluate the discrepancy between the programming
"promise" and "performance" of radio broadcasters. Since license renewal
was dependent upon serving the public interest, program content became a
significant consideration in this procedure. The "Blue Book" required
licensees to promote the discussion of public issues, serve minority
interests and eliminate superfluous advertising. Unpopular with
commercial broadcasters, the "Blue Book" was rendered obsolete after
five years because of the economic threat it posed.
In it's "1960 Program Policy Statement", the FCC echoed similar
sentiments pertaining to television broadcasters. In response to
assorted broadcasting scandals, the FCC issued this statement in order
to "remind" broadcasters of how to serve the public interest. Although
previous tenets of the "Blue Book" were rejected, this revised policy
included the "license ascertainment" stipulation, requiring broadcasters
to determine local programming needs through distribution and analysis
of surveys. However, adherence to such programming policies has never
been strictly enforced."

Do Radio Stations 'Serve' or "Service" Their Communities ?
1 - Preform a Pubic Service and Serve their communities.
2 - "Service" Their Communities with Consumer Information
[Advertising] Directed To Their Radio Listeners along with
assorted filler Radio Programming.
more likely # 2 ~ RHF

Radio was much better, and had relatively bigger audiences, when no
company could own more than 12 (6 AM, 6 FM) radio stations. There was
vastly more variety of opinion and more localism.
