Radio: HD Radio's Booble and Bilk-o crank it up!
Posted: 11 Jun 2008 06:10 PM CDT

That horse has been beaten dead. You know it and I know it.

HD Radio. If you bought into it, forget it. You’ve been swindled. You
were robbed. It was one of the biggest, most expensive con jobs in
radio history. Take solace in knowing that you were far from the only
victim in this fraud.

HD Radio - a waste of time, money, engineering, on-air time….need I
continue?

SNIP

Maybe if they had spent time and money on the engineering it would have
been successful but they didn't. This is real work that nobody wanted to
do or pay for.

HD and DRM both do not create an improved listener experience. Going
from analog to HD or DRM has its pluses and minuses of one over the
other creating a different experience but not a better experience.

The upshot is consumers are not going to pay for sometime that is not
really any better.

I don't know about the other readers of this news group but when you
have the associations of broadcasters and manufacturers getting together
to build the next big step in radio communications I have pretty high
expectations. Neither HD or DRM come close to what I want.
