Maybe it already happened, but I read that the two majors might combine. So, it can't be doing all that well! Just like when I HAD cable TV, and thought I'd get a new movie a night. No way, same ol' same ol' for a week or more! Guess satellite is similar. I'm still not clear why FCC doesn't control Satellite as they do Commercial.

WOGL-FM (Philly) switched to HD. Even with a "regular" radio, it sounds fine. Not sure the HD change had anything with the sound.

Only "bad" thing about internet broadcasts, is you have to have a computer (or similar) and internet access. But, then again, you don't need to buy a special radio.

As with AM Stereo, Bob, I don't feel people care much about Digital TV (at least I don't). Especially, when they are forced to by converters or trash their older TV.

Thanks, Bob.

Best,
John
