Ed -- My resume includes the design, build, and maintenance of satellite and private CATV systems in MDU communities. Franchise CATV is also in there, as is the installation and service of distributed audio systems. Lest I forget, the building of structured cabling networks and the installation and service of wireless internet has also taken up much of my time.

I remember reading an article several years ago in which it was said that KSTU wanted to become a major news player in the area. I've been quite impressed for the past while that they're often the first to report major stories (in depth reporting, not just a mention of the story) and, far more often than not, the first to tweet about an event.

Not to mention that not all areas have reliable internet or cell coverage. Most service providers offer data packages with X amount of data usage, and most cell service providers packages are relatively small. Too much data transfer could cause one to go over their plan's allotment, thereby incurring overage charges. Streaming could end up costing one quite a bit more than a one-time $20 purchase of an AM/FM radio.
Not saying anything against streaming, but I really don't think it's going to take over the world and totally obliterate everything else.

I agree that the demise of radio is greatly exaggerated. I'll take a good, local station (AM or FM) over an iPod playlist or streamed service anyday. (The only exception is RetroMediaAllstars, and that's because it is local to me and I've listened to the people behind the mic for years.) Two reasons: I like to get a feel of the local area and support it; and what is liked/listened to in one area of the country may not be what is listened to in another area. Occasionally, I'll listen to Music Choice (music service carried by DirecTV) and I've done the XM Radio thing. I've also listened to (streamed) various stations from around the country I've always found it interesting that stations that purport to play the same music as stations in my area have a very different playlist than what I hear on the radio. Sure, it falls into the same genre, but much of it I have never heard before.

It appears to be a bit stronger in Salt Lake as well. Haven't thrown a meter on it yet to see how it compares with others, but it does seem to be more solid than it used to be.

The RetroMediaAllstars app for Android is now available at the Google Play Store. The iPhone app should be coming soon.

Too bad I'll miss the return of 666 Park Ave on KTVX. It was a sad (sort of) day when it was cancelled. Rather enjoyed it. Too bad the episodes run this summer are just un-aired episodes, and don't signal a return of the series.

Yeah, it's hit and miss for me as well.

I know that, but at least it would get the station out on the air at what I think would be a much lower cost than a regular station.

Too bad you couldn't be on one of the HD Radio subchannels.

The ability to play the stream through a media player was an excellent addition. Thank you so much for that!
