The public radio conference I just attended had an HD Radio session, and even though they were upbeat, the panel strongly urged stations to stream their digital channels.<BR/><BR/>I think WiFi (and perhaps WiMax) is the way forward. Which makes the SoundExchange's effort to throttle Internet radio in its cradle even more wrong-headed.<BR/><BR/> - RalphRalph Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758413012114957573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32516736.post-78403000765384720942007-08-21T14:45:00.000-04:002007-08-21T14:45:00.000-04:00If anyone knows, you might know.

Of course, WNRN could split off its various formats into different HD Radio channels as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605368741040934259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32516736.post-41476697916935267852007-08-01T15:31:00.000-04:002007-08-01T15:31:00.000-04:00If HD-Radio were a true mass medium, WNRN would al...If HD-Radio were a true mass medium, WNRN would also face competition from WVTF, which I believe has plans to put a AAA feed out over 89.2. They may already be doing it, but, I don't have an HD-Radio.Sean Tubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703508034749435266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32516736.post-16744349518424142082007-07-31T12:03:00.000-04:002007-07-31T12:03:00.000-04:00Excellent point.

I think the "Acoustic Sunrise" also appeals to an older demographic, and I suspect WCNR has been paying close attention to what appeals to that audience as well!Ralph Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758413012114957573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32516736.post-9169629778046619482007-07-31T11:44:00.000-04:002007-07-31T11:44:00.000-04:00I didn't think I would, because I tend to not like...I didn't think I would, because I tend to not like commercial stations, but I love The Corner, and now listen to it all the time, and not to WNRN.<BR/><BR/>Why? Probably because of the fact that I'm no longer the 20-something to which NRN is geared - I'm in my early 30s, and I tend to like hearing the stuff I've grown up hearing, as well as new and interesting stuff, and I hate the hard crap they play on NRN. (I'm a curmudgeon, I guess.) The Corner really does have an awesome, diverse, good playlist. All the time. It doesn't change to rap at night and to fiddle-time in the mornings. <BR/><BR/>I continue to listen to WTJU at times, for the specific shows I like (when I can remember they are on). But NRN? not so much. I don't need it, I don't miss it. <BR/><BR/>I like diversity, though, so I hope all of the stations stick around.Amy-Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949703896486202906noreply@blogger.com
