HD stations are able to broadcast more than one channel on the same frequency (they call it "multicasting"), but it's up to the individual radio station whether they want to or not. I live in Seattle and about 1/2 the HD stations multicast. Here's a link to check HD stations in your area: HD1 = regular radio broadcast (but in digital HD quality) HD2 = 2nd channel broadcast on the same frequency HD3 = 3rd channel...and so on (I believe up to 8 channels can theoretically exist on the same frequency in HD, but the most I've seen so far is 3). And NO, there is no monthly fee, you just need to buy the HD radio equipment. “do you get additional radio stations compared to a regular radio?”
