so I think I'd like a scion, but from what it sounds like, the customizer commercials may be marketing in the same what that sony does it.
I see tricked out scions parked at movie theaters and clubs, but there's nothing that says "this is an ad". When I watch TV and see tuners showing their scions and talking about customizing, I never see them talking about getting paid to trick it out or how much free stuff toyota gave them to do it. Is that marketing dishonesty, too?
Why don't we all assume it's marketing so we don't waste energy on trying to figure out if it is.
Better yet, maybe we can debate if Apple's ads are lies, too. You see a hip, trim, and athletic cut-out dancing with an iPod, are we being misled into thinking that anyone who get's an ipod is cool, hip, trim, or athletic? Should apple and all consumer goods companies provide "truth in advertising" and say "your actual coolness may vary" or "apple: we're selling cool AND the ipod" you only get the ipod"?
Simulcast is great IF the market local advertisers will pay for it. KNAC, or "The NAC" went from one of LA's most popular concert and metal stations to a niche market provider elbowed out when advertisers turned cold to the format. First they went to dual format, then eventually to Internet only.
If the advertisers won't pay on terrestrial radio, some Internet stations won't have the option to run dual formats.
Agreed. WOXY rocks and for about 30 cents a day you get quality.
Trolling around for free music and bad radio gets old fast. It's no doubt that quality costs money, and that's what they produce. Case in point --> look at google video. There's alot of free amatuer video there, but "good stuff" usually cost money. Production value and quality means that I don't feel like I've wasted my time on a generic playlist or impersonal bit pipe.
