"The Edge" on "Smooth Jazz"

[Sid Schweiger]

>>What percentage of the listening public has satellite radio now?<<

About 13 million.  Just for reference, that's approximately 40% of the
weekly cume for WINS...one station in one market.

>>While its gaining acceptance, it still is a minority.  Of course this
will change as the day of rude awakening looms nearer.  HD radio has no
such deadline...yet.<<

It won't change much, with most folks getting their TV from cable,
which is under no deadline for upgrading to HDTV.  HD radio will likely
not face a deadline for conversion for decades.  Unlike the situation
with TV, there is no shift of spectrum going on.  Analog and digital are
being transmitted on the same frequencies (in theory, at least).
