Easier to shut down if pesky conservatives start saying stuff

[Fungi]

As is always the case, government control, not freedom.

[Squantos]

Pirate Radio !!!! < / sarcasm>

[2banana]

Why not let the market decide...?

And there is something comforting knowing you can listen to something without hackers or anyone else knowing or trying to sell you something.

[Secret Agent Man]

Lotsa car drivers are gonna be upset there.

[Fiddlstix]

Yep. Remember Radio Caroline, Radio Swan, et al
Pirate Radio
The way to go

[Lawgvr1955]

Great minds think alike. Steely Dan’s FM was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw the headline.

[Gay State Conservative]

My last 3 cars (all German,and presumably well designed and made) have had HD radio.My experience in and near major East Coast cities is that it sounds good *when* it works properly...which is much less than 100% of the time.Fade outs have always been the problem with all three.

[WENDLE]

Why? There is no good reason.

[dfwgator]

“It’s smooth sailing with the highly successful sound. Of wonderful Radio London!”

[Squantos]

It was.... I remember, yet most of my military career overseas I was a BBC radio addict .... sangen SW 1 & 2 /FM/AM. BBC now has gone to shit’n shineola CNN style. Went internet and Sat FM radio of late.

I like my satellite radio, but even it seems to have reception problems at times. I don’t get why it can’t have some kind of memory buffer so that it doesn’t cut out when I drive under an overpass.

[Blue Jays]

Agreed! A bridge overpass or even a couple of trees.
It typically happens during the great part of a song or when someone is making a good point on talk radio. :-)

[CaptainK]

My favorite Steely Dan song.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I saw the movie in basic training in an old, rickety theatre.

[Squantos]

Agree .... but I’m not in a part of the country where such is a problem ....85mph not much of a signal drop on the few times I’m under the over per se. But agree with ya. Technology should have ia fix for such.

[BBell]

I love that song and I thought of it too.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Norway, like Sweden and Denmark is killing itself.
