So what will be the fate of the Sinatra show? Will it's sixty plus year run end or is its time slot considered harmless allowing Sid to stay on?
I suspect the latter...don't know how Sid's health is lately.

There’s always an opportunity to sell time to more scam financial artists and dubious “remedies” for what ails you.So what will be the fate of the Sinatra show? Will it's sixty plus year run end or is its time slot considered harmless allowing Sid to stay on?
Sometimes I can’t believe that show is still around.
If WHYY is tie with KYW in 18-34, moving to FM won't change a thing.[/url]
I think the industry really missed the boat with HD. The way they advertised it ("stations between the stations"???) was so bizarre to me. I acknowledge that a lot of radio geeks dislike HD because of it screws up DX-ing. But the sound is just so much better. And the (at-this-point-mostly-wasted) opportunities for interesting formats on the side-channels was something I think could have been a big opportunity for radio. I always felt like stations should have been doing a much better job of advertising what their "commercial-free" side-channels were offering and telling people how to hear them. I felt like that was the way to get people to consider buying new receivers. At the very least, demand could have encouraged many more car companies to have HD stereos as optional equipment.
I don't get to hear radio much these days but when I do (usually during a road trip), HD side channels are mostly what I end up listening to! But I suppose they're going to continue slowly become simulcasts of sister stations until the whole experiment finally dies out. Hopefully, they'll at least come up with some other use for the technology.

The issue is a stodgy and old presentation. I suspect it's part of the reason why they're changing leadership at the station.

When I first heard about HD Radio I was exciting I thought it was going to be a big thing. I thought AM stations that had FM sister stations would move to an HD sub-channel and in 5 or 10 years when HD became the norm, they would shut down their AM signal, allowing other stations to move to the abandoned frequency i.e. day time only stations or lower power stations. I thought that would've been a way to declutter the AM band.
The big problem happened when the FCC didn't force radio manufacturers to include HD on all their radios.
