HD Radio stations Nationwide?
BryanaBreakable asked:
I was curious, with HD radios can you listen to the same station across the country like you can with Satellite radios or do the stations fade out after you get further away like a normal FM station? Thanks!

HD radio supports only local stations like a regular FM station.
The short answer, by law HD radio must replicate the analog program of the radio station on its primary channel.
However HD will support one or more additional channels of programming. So HD2 could be part of a national program syndicate, much like NBC or CBS television has a station in every market. This is not prohibited by law and is an area where HD station owners have not explored. Most decisions like this are economic, if the syndicator would pay-for-play, then it could happen.
