What's the development status of HD programming? (Are they being
broadcast in most metropolitan areas now?) Also, is the audio fidelity
as good as FM, and if not, what are the advantages of getting HD-AM?

AM HD is stereo and is about as good as analog FM.

Both AM HD & FM HD have ( um, forgot what it's called) auto-station ID
display, as well as program/song information display. Great for DXing!

FM HD is about as good as CD audio. Many FM HD stations broadcast two HD
channels consisting of different programming.
