I B OC'd and Crock,

The simple reality is : As long as AM/FM Radios 'exist'
as a common place Item in every Car/Truck and in every
Home and Office; and there is FREE Over-the-Air Radio :
"HD" Radio has a Chance to become the accepted Digital
Radio System used Every Day by American Radio Listeners.

The Ubiquitous HD Radio - Someday !

"The ongoing tragedy of HD radio"

"Supposedly, it costs a manufacturer about $50 to implant an iBiquity
HD chip into a radio, thus transforming it into an HD radio. That $50
(or so) is the fee the manufacturer pays to iBiquity. The actual cost
of this technology is, of course, likely to be a few dollars at most.
Is it any wonder why the cheapest HD radios aren't so cheap? And, more
importantly, will it ever be possible for the $15 dollar clock radio
you buy at the CVS to be, by default, HD-powered? The Radio industry
must subsidize the cost of HD radios, not simply market the heck out
of the technology on-air. HD must transparently appear everywhere. And
the only way that will happen is if it's feasible to build it into a
$15 dollar clock radio. The 'HD advantage' must be free and invisible
to consumers."

"Where is the Cool, the Content, the Charge?"

"Here is another bad sign: almost every time I speak with a GM or PD
about HD Radio, they say, ...it's a non-starter, isn't it? If we don't
believe in HD Radio, who will?"

http://www.paragonmediastrategies.com/theblog/?cat=3

What you fail to understand, or will admit to, is that the actual
terrestrial broadcasters that would need to substidized the HD radios
aren't even backing HD Radio - that is partly why there has been no
effort in putting compelling programming on the HD channels, like
there is any available anyway; they can't even put compelling
programming on the main analog channels.

I'm using my BA RecepterHD to listen to webcasts via a Whole House
Transmitter Gold. HD is 5 years too late.

This really is getting a bit tedious. We all know HD sucks. Next thing
your going to tell us is George Bush isn't very smart and Dick Cheney
is a lousy shot.

Yes, IBOC is crap. We know it. We have zero influence over the corrupt
GOP FCC committee members. There is nothing we can do other than let
the market realize it is crap. We're down to 3 locals in the SF Bay
area running iboc at night. I think KGO and KCBS don't even run it in
the day anymore. Give it time and it will wither all by itself.

M... Sushi,

AM "HD" Radio is just going along for the 'digital' ride.

FM "HD" Radio will become a winner . . . in time.

The 'future' of Free Over-the-Air Radio is in an
Expanded "FM" Radio Band.
