HD Programming

Does anyone have an HD radio? (I do not.)

I heard a promo today on 94.7 for a second country station on 94.7 WDSD HD2. It is Classic Country "Foggy Mountain", according to iBiquity's website.

Who else is doing HD2 or HD3 programming? Just WSTW? They have Graffiti Radio on HD2 and WDEL rebroadcasted on HD3? I've often wondered why WAFL doesn't put WDEL on one of its HD stations. Who else is broadcasting in HD? iBiquity says WRDX-HD2 is called "The Music Summit." WAFL doesn't have an HD XMTR, according to iBiquity's website- but their ID says WAFL-FM, WAFL-HD1.

I don't have HD radio, but I do have friends at Eagle 97.7 (WAFL) who do have a HD Transmitter. Im not sure why they dont have an HD2. I know that at one time they thought they would put their Spanish AM on HD2 but never did.
 
There is no reason WAFL couldn't put the Spanish AM, WDEL, or WNCL on the HD stations while they consider building additional formats but it is also my understanding that HD2 and HD3 require additional expense to purchase the modules for the transmitter... it's not safe to assume that just because they have an HD1, they have an idle HD2 and HD3.

Nobody is going to buy an HD radio until station owners give them something they can't hear on their old fashion AM/FM radio. A crystal clear opportunity to listen to WDEL would be a start!
