IBOC has been able to pollute the airwaves since last fall and the radios have been (in principle) available for a couple of years now. IBOC now is old hat, it didn't sell and is on it's way out. There have been several waves of new "HD rollouts" all resulting in zilch, nada, it's a big lead balloon and will soon take it's place on the shelf next to other useless technologies such as 8 track machines and DAT recorders. At least those machines worked as promised, Tom forgot to tell you that the signal actually sounds worse on analog radios than it did before the IBOC conversion and since 99.9999% of their customers still use analog radios and always will, his system has degraded the sound for the vast majority of WOR listeners. Incidentally the IBOC noisy sidebands which extend 15 Khz to each side of the carrier signal also stomp on whoever is on the adjacent channels on both sides of WOR. IBOC has been a colossal failure and that fact also leads me to believe that this article is at least several years old, give it up. Tom also neglected to tell you that receiving IBOC on a receiver is quite different than receiving the analog signal the receive range is severely compromised contrary to Tom's experience, his saying that the range is extended with only 1500 watts is disingenuous at the very least. You are lucky to get a lock on an IBOC signal at less than one mile to a max of 20 miles, it doesn't work and you might want to keep abreast of CURRENT EVENTS in radio. How old is this interview?

In similar vein, why does he seemingly angrily deride any and all who dare remark the obvious about HD's destructive interference? Isn't it obvious that no one wants HD radio? HD jams. Promoters angrily deny it, but denial is a big part of the problem and a principal reason that consumers long ago rejected HD. HD jams other stations. HD ruined nightime AM listening. HD caused engineers to ask, 'what are we doing to ourselves', upon realizing the severity of its interference to FM. Now, the NAB demands the FCC raise iBLOC power limits. Good. The resulting jamming mess will not only ruin domestic radio listening, it will jam foreign nations' broadcasts and at long last finish off this rotten destructive technology. HD in and of itself isn't the problem. HD should have had its own band. But BigRadio cronies demanded an 'In Band On Channel Solution". Doesn't that phrase sound hinky? It does because it is. The so-called solution, in typical corrupt 90s manner, is a 'carny shill'. In Band On Channel was BigRadio's 'solution' to competing stations. It would as well make listeners discard billions of radios worth trillions of dollars and buy expensive, unwieldy HD stooge radios. Do these sound like Mob tactics? What worthy product is promoted with heated denials and coercive false claims? Isn't that why American citizens shun cronyism, 'carny shills', and root for the underdog? Does Americans' sense of fair play explain why they saw HD for what it is? Isn't that why the American citizens long ago rejected HD? Why do HD promoters persist in forcing a failed system upon us which all have rejected? Where's the pressure coming from? No one wants HD in present destructive form. No amount of FCC cronyism and coercive tactics will change that. If anything, the more these greedy-guts manipulate public agencies to usurp our airwaves, the sooner their scheme will collapse once and for all.
