[SBE] TV Audio on HD-3

[Fluker, Steve (CXR-Orlando)]

All very valid points on making a profit, although I don't see an issue
if more than one station wants to put NOAA on their HD multicast
channels.  Here in Orlando we have three main channels running Hip Hop,
and we even have two different HD2 channels running Gospel music.
Having NOAA on two HD3 channels is a waste of a channel quite frankly,
but no harm is done as far as I can see.

Steve - 

 

I completely agree that putting NOAA on an HD3 is a good idea.
However, in this day, managers are going to want to know how to make a
profit with it....and you can't blame them.    The other issue is
management as to who.  More than one NWS/HD3 per market would not be
wise...and who makes that call?   What do you do if a Class A FM puts it
on and then a Class C, in the same market, wants to do it too?.

Who is going to administrate this?

	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.

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.
