[SBE] TV Audio on HD-3

[Fluker, Steve (CXR-Orlando)]

I personally think it's a good idea to run NOAA on at least one HD3 in a
market.  Driving down the road if you see bad weather you could turn to
it.  I must say though, that we did have a local NPR affiliate do that
for a few days and it really sounded out of place.  Don't know what it
was, but it was like going to the movies to watch "UP", and seeing a
preview for "Dragged To Hell" come on.

I have circulated this at various levels at NOAA  - will advise.

 

Considering the fragile economic situation we find ourselves in-

the biggest hurdle I see is going to be the broadcaster that 

wants to know why or what's in it for him.   

 

I would think that most broadcasters today would do anything

to help the bottom line.  Not sure broadcasting weather would 

be a way to do this....unless - you could have a commercial 

sponsor or perhaps the way they do it on NCE facilities, 

have it under-written.

	Kent/Everyone: 

	 

	Great idea!

	 

	Clay may want to contact Herb White at NOAA to get his reaction
to Kent's suggestion.

	The idea of retransmitting for emergency information.  Might be
a co-branding or even sales opportunity:  The local TV that wants the
"source of emergency information" image could either trade or buy an HD
channel.  This could, be even more important with the introduction of
the portable HDRadio receivers.
	
	It is also be interesting to consider NOAA Weather Radio on
HD-3.

	I like that idea Steve, could be great cross promotion between
TV and Radio.
	Put a camera on your morning show on a DTV channel and the TV
audio on the
	HD channel. I've always wondered also if it would be possible to
get at
	least one radio station in a market to retransmit the NOAA
weather radio on
	the HD-2 or 3 channel also.that would be truly using the channel
to serve
	the community.
