2008 was year that most would like to forget.
The financial industry collapsed under the weight of its own greed.
Thousands lost their jobs.
We still have too many soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
HD Radio adoption remains nascent.
And through all this, Bush proved useless again.
Ok, on the HD Radio point, probably not much that Bush could do. The average consumer is still trying to figure out the transition to HD Television, as Fox's Spike Feresten so humorously points out.
Despite all this, RadioSherpa still believes that we need to be able to laugh.
Thus we are including a video that came out last year from The Richter Scales called "Here Comes Another Bubble". We know that many have probably seen this video before, but given that so many bubble have burst this year, we felt that this video was particularly apropos. Enjoy:
Happy Holidays!

"They’re turning off HD in Washington, DC"
"Well, this time it’s not an anomaly or a digital exciter glitch—at least not that we can see. For weeks now the Washington, DC market has been turning off its HD Radio signals en masse. There is no longer any station in the market on AM broadcasting in HD... The most likely culprit is licensing fees."

"CC Radio’s Format Lab gone?"
November 2008
"Really, the next round of budget cuts--out of necessity--is likely going to be HD Radio equipment and licensing renewals. It has cost broadcasters money that so far has not generated ROI. This CC Radio news above, along with the rumors that Citadel has told Engineering not to fix any broken HD transmitters on AM, may be the tip of the iceberg."

Yea, I'm laughing! More to come, I'm, sure! It's finally over!
