Blame Talk Radio if you're Senator John Kerry.

Jeff Poor writes at Newsbusters.org:

"...it's not ClimateGate - but the messenger who is at fault for growing hesitation to enact a cap-and-trade policy," according to Kerry. He quotes the Senator as saying, "The science 'has been maligned and misinterpreted, and we need to fight back . . . people [need to] stop being moved by these talk show [hosts]'".

That's a mouthful.

Basically, the new HD frequencies created by splitting the original frequency of WJFK-FM/The Fan in Washington, D.C. have become a "network" of sports stations in what CBS is calling a "quadcast".

So, if you have an HD radio, you can now hear WJZ-FM from Baltimore on the HD2 frequency, WFAN/New York on HD3, and Philadelphia's WIP on HD4.

Don't live in D.C.? Good news: all these stations are available online. Listen Now: WIP-AM, WJFK-FM, WJZ-FM, and WFAN-AM.

According to digtriad.com: "Right now radio stations pay fees to songwriters. Satellite radio, Internet radio and cable TV music channels pay fees to songwriters and performers. Warwick says radio has gotten a free ride and should compensate performers like her."

Of course, Warwick fails to acknowledge the effect radio airplay has on selling CDs and digital downloads. Historically, radio airplay has been a "make or break" situation for most artists. The Internet may be helpful today in establishing artists but it's still a little too soon to count out radio airplay from the old standbys, AM and FM.

Most struggling bands would kill to receive substantial radio airplay which solidifies the standing of a band or artist on a national scale. In this respect, the trade between radio airplay and not having to pay the performer a royalty is more than justified. That's just my opinion - you can leave yours below.
