"Despite the economic downturn, HD Radio technology made significant
strides in 2008 with broadcasters, automotive OEMs and receiver
manufacturers. With the backing of almost every major electronics
manufacturer, HD Radio receivers will be at the forefront of the
digital transition in 2009," said Bob Struble, President and CEO of
iBiquity Digital Corporation.

Struble - You've got to be kidding!! *You're so full of bull**** it's
absolutely amazing. * I new you'd come up with some bull**** news-
flash about what a successful year 2008 was but you exceeded all
expectations. *You need help.

That's funny, because here he said:

"Radio’s Revenue Falls Even as Audience Grows"

"And automakers, which have other problems, are not embracing the
technology; so far, only Volvo is offering HD Radio as a standard
feature in its new cars (it is standard in all but one of its 2009
models). HD radio is pretty much going to be nonexistent, because they
can’t figure out how to get the auto guys to include that as an
option, and the auto guys that do include HD don’t let the consumers
know about it, Ms. Ryvicker of Wachovia Capital Markets said. It’s
been a horribly marketed product that’s not going to save the radio
industry. Mr. Struble objected to that characterization... He said
there was 'a lot of momentum' with the auto industry."

A slight slip of the tongue?

- The 2009 Genesis includes HD Radio in the technology package. You
- canNOT get satellite radio, or a navigation system, 17-speaker
stereo,
- backup camera, etc. etc. without getting HD Radio.

Might I Add that presently all personal Cars and Trucks
built-in the USA come with an AM & FM Radio as
Standard Equipment -be-it- Analog of Digital.

That is FREE Over-the-Air AM & FM Radio

Available Over-the-Air 24/7 Practically Everywhere
and Internet Radio Can Not Say That.

Free Meaning NO Monthly Fees like Satellite
and Internet Radio.

Remember it was "PocketRadio" who proclaimed :
I'd Destroy Radio - Just To Destroy HD/IBOC !
