Channel 95.7

With HD multi-casting now starting in a couple different markets, does anyone think Kiss will multi-cast their Channel 95.7 format on one of the multi-cast channels?

If you have an HD-receiver, you can receive the a station's HD broadcast which (supposedly) brings FM to CD-quality sound and brings AM to the current sound of FM.

Some stations have started multi-casting. So, for example, if you tune into 95.7, with an HD receiver you'll get the regular product, and choices of up to 5 (I believe) separate channels, where stations can offer other music or informational streams. So 95.7 could leave the regular CHR format on the regular and HD 95.7 and have an HD-only multi-cast of their channel format on a separate multi-cast, part of the 95.7 HD signal.

Does this make sense?

High Definition radio might hurt Satellite Radio in the long run, if HD radio takes off.
Think about it, if you have just 10 commercial FM stations in a given market, and they all start utilizing HD, then all of a sudden you have 50 stations to serve a market. On top of that, once you buy an HD radio receiver you don't have to make any more payments. Satellite radio on the other hand is based on a monthly subscription service.

And another curve ball for both of these services is the growth of radio webcasters . Once online webcasters will be able to offer easy access to the webcasts via cell phones (in high quality), and with the growth of wireless computers, the webcasters might also become a serious player.

It looks like the big winners in all this are the listeners, which is great new for all music fans.
