Hello, Moto.

Motorola's iradio launches this week at CES in Vegas. 500 channels straight into your cell phone for seven bucks a month. Not just more programming--another new radio distribution system that excludes AM-FM. I know, Radio Guy, you don't need any more of this kind of news. But you gotta keep up with developments. Here's what they're reading about the "Radio Scramble" in Philly. I also read today that one of the stick radio big guys is issuing a call to arms--a sort of kwitcherbellyachin exhortation to his colleagues to stop talking about satellite and start promoting what they're calling "free radio." I say, keep developing new formats and new services, not just for the new HD subchannels, but for the main channel. Broadcast radio can do this--but you're gonna have to get gutsy and creative.
