getting accepted too rapidly. The new "HD" radio junk is pretty lame

bingo, the turn off analog was always about selling the bandwidth for

frankly i expect a uproar if the feds proceed with this.......

Yes something I find really annoying when the government announces they
just "made" $10 billion from a spectrum auction. They didn't "make"
anything since whomever bought the spectrum will need to recover the
expense from their subscribers.
