An article I read about 15 years ago wisely asked, are we in the programming
business, or the transmission business?  If we had adopted Eureka-147 and
all the radio stations had to do was create programming to send to a
centralized transmitter site, how would that change the industry?  If we
change from sending out programming on AM or FM transmitters to sending it
out on WiFi, does that change our business model all that much?  TV stations
already have about 95% of their viewers on cable -- if they turned off their
transmitters, how much would that affect their bottom line?  Just something
to think about.
