So the radio stations can make more money for the advertising on the HD stations.
Radio is dying, why would anyone want HD when its the same music and bad DJ and censorship that is on normal radio.
Use and Ipod or Satelite.
lol - is HD radio waht u yanks cal DAB(digital radio?) if so it SUX!!!! fm is a v cool technology tho most stations use compressors that make it sound ok on lil radios but crap if you have serious hi-fi (lucky for me i live in UK so get radio 3 which is about the only channel that DOESN’T use compression)…fm through a hi-quality tuner with a decent aerial sounds better than cd - dab sounds MUCH worse!!! i could tell u why but i fink that only me and a coupla other hi-fi nuts wouldn’t fall asleep!
please post again if hd is dab, huh?
My guess is to sell you new digital receivers. There is currently no mandatory date set for FM or AM radio to go digital nor have I heard of any intent to make it mandatory. For FM, the added quality will me minimal as FM broadcast uses a fairly wide bandwidth. Most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. AM would sound better but I don’t know if people would be willing to spend the money for HD talk radio. I sure wouldn’t.
