HD + QVC = WTF?
Looks like some HD Radios are going to be featured on QVC -- the cable equivalent of carnival barkers -- and the HD Digital Radio Alliance thinks this is a GOOD move:
QVC to showcase HD Radio.
Three HD Radio receiver models will premiere on QVC's cable TV network next Wednesday night. HD Digital Radio alliance president/CEO Peter Ferrara says "QVC provides a unique retail at-home environment that is ideal for helping even more consumers discover the cool new content and crystal clear sound provided by HD Digital Radio."
Hell, having these things featured on QVC makes the fact RadioShack carried 'em look like the friggin' "Big Time!"
Don't it look purty?
Someone needs to record the QVC pitch and post it to YouTube. Send me a link if you do -- I want to feature it on the ZR blog.

"HD on QVC -- Lipstick on a (Roast) Pig"
"As the saying goes, you can't put lipstick on a pig, but somehow, iBiquity has managed to get QVC to sell HD radios to its vast home shopping network audience."

Yup, putting lipstick on a pig!

"HD Radio-On-QVC Fiasco Thread"
"Did anybody here listen to Radio Racket last night? They reported on QVC's September HD Radio fiasco. Total sales were only $30,000! They said there were three different receivers at different prices, but assuming the cheapest was $300, and that all of them were the cheapest one, that would be only 200 units sold. QVC had to buy these turkeys, so the loss is theirs. They're going to try to sell the others in segments where they bunch a lot of items, instead of showcasing HD again. After all, why would they/ a real dud. And QVC has no plans to ask any HD advocates back for another appearance."
