"HD Radio’s Impact on the Radio Broadcast Industry"

"HD Radio’s Impact on the Radio Broadcast Industry"

"Of the 56 percent of the surveyed stations that are currently broadcasting in HD, 39.3 percent responded that they adopted the new technology because it offered a 'higher sound quality' and 28.6 percent said it’s because HD is the 'wave of the future'... Eventually, it is expected that all radio broadcasts will be digital, although the FCC has not set a timeline for that migration."

Oh my, duped again ! :D
 
Most of the largest stations are digital ALREADY. Multicasting is in EVERY ONE OF THE TOP 100 MARKETS! Of the thousands of stations that don't broadcast digitally over the air yet, a huge percentage of them stream. Radio is digital NOW, not in the future. IT IS A DIGITAL WORLD!

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE TOP STATIONS FROM GREENSBORO AND CHARLOTTE (my nearest major markets) ARE EITHER HD, OR ABOUT TO CONVERT...with one exception, WXRC 95.7. And they will eventually "see the light".

It's nearly impossible to find a top 100 market fm station that isn't already digital, or preparing to convert.

It is up to the marketplace to determine the fate of HD radio, and consumers are not interested.

Again: in the top 100 markets, nearly every one of the viable AMs and FMs is in HD, covering nearly 70% of the US population.
 
The number of stations, products, and vendors increase each week. Sounds like the marketplace IS deciding, and some don't like their decision.

All very good reasons to convert.

No doubt about it. The greatest day in recent broadcast history will be when all the stations broadcast in crystal-clear digital audio (not that I have anything against analog). 8)

Won't need it, as Mike has said; "The number of stations, products, and vendors increase each week. Sounds like the marketplace IS deciding, and some don't like their decision."  8)
