I am not a HDTV fan. But facts are facts. Not ONE TV station has turned in it's HDTV channel -- because they couldn't aford the equipment, no one had receivers, etc. In fact -- over 60 analog stations have turned in their licenses and now operate ONLY a single HDTV channel -- even years before being required to do so. Facts are facts. It would take less than one year to produce a new FM receiver with a new "lower band" from 54 to 88 Mhz. The value is not in the built station -- but a CP. Giving each AM daytimer a 5 year period to move over to FM only is not going to hurt anyone. It was done with the extended AM band stations. It's not up to the public alone. Broadcasting is a BUSINESS. When was the last time you heard of a AM daytimer making money or providing good local programming ?? _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
