John, of course, is honcho of the DIYmedia blog (link on right), and he’s now accepted a faculty position in the Department of Television and Radio at Brooklyn College, to begin this fall. In addition, he’ll also be the director of the department’s Broadcast Journalism program and will oversee the Summer Broadcast News Institute. Good luck in the Big Apple, John.

“HD Radio is a blocking mechanism proffered to impede new competition in the terrestrial radio space.”

HD Radio was designed to marginalize the smaller broadcasters through adjacent-channel interference and confiscatory iBiquity licensing and ongoing fees. iBiquity is attempting to localize radio by forcing listeners onto their local HD Radio stations, only. John is our version of the UK’s Grant Goddard, and we thank them for the time spent calling out these digital radio scams.

Yeah, that’s my dissertation, all right. To be significantly reconfigured and published as a book by Routledge in late 2013. Feel free to download and read, I’d love the feedback as I work to make it book-worthy. See http://diymedia.net/archive/0312.htm#032912

HD radio seems to be one of those things that just won’t go away tho. I hadn’t heard anything about it for months and then a couple of weeks ago there was an announcement that the jazz programming on WDUQ at Duquesne U was being shuffled off to an HD signal. As if WDUQ listeners haven’t suffered enough from PRC etc. And then a couple of days after that KDRP here in the Austin area announced it had acquired an HD channel as well. KDRP is hoping to use HD as a way of getting it’s LPFM signal into the Austin metro area, but what good is a signal if no one is tuning in on HD?

Why does this not surprise me?

Although, I do have to admit that I have switched to internet radio to listen to proper public broadcasitng–The BBC. The World Service is still the best in public broadcasting.
