The #1 Radio Advertiser in '07? Radio.

Apparently the number one advertiser on Radio in 2007 was Radio itself -- or rather its lamest evisioned evolution... HD Radio.

The HD Digital Radio Alliance spent $250 MILLION dollars in radio dollars last year pimping the Edsel of airwave evolution. The investment netted them a little over 1,451,00 ad units.

And let me check... Yep.
HD Radio is still inferior when compared to the choice (and cost) of Web Radio.

"GSD&M Preps $200 Mil.+ HD Radio Push"

"GSD&M has already begun producing work. The ads feature the voice of cartoon character SpongeBob (actor Tom Kenny) as a conventional car radio calling its owner and leaving messages as if it's a jilted lover. "You know, I could totally pick up those new extra HD stations if I hit the gym," the radio says in desperation. "Is that what you're into now? Huh? Call me!"

Brillant - the new HD marketing campaign will "push" consumers into Best Buy to purchase those empty HD radios! What a farce!
