HD radio in Knoxville

RMarino

I don't have an HD radio, but I rented a car this week that did have it. Although several Knoxville FMs have HD-1 channels which echo the main channel, none of them have HD-2s or higher. However while scanning around, I found that 105.7 in Crossville has not only HD-2 (which is used to feed the translator for 101.9 The Vibe) but also has an HD-3 which has an interesting oldies format (and a very basic web page at wihghd3.com). Why haven't any of the Knoxville signals put up some HD subchannels, even if it's just something automated? I'd probably purchase an HD radio if they did.
 
Maybe there are more listeners to the alternate stations via FM translators than the .2s and .3s. I know in Nashville one .2 is also on an FM translator. That's how I listen to it. I don't have HD capability in my car, or anywhere.
 
HD is an ideas who's time has passed. The future will be about nothing but online "e-radio" as they're apt to call it. I was recently an attendee to a seminar where a man from Ubiquity came forward and tried to convince the gathered that there might be a future of HD radio for broadcasters other than the small hand full of AM broadcasters still plugging away night and day with their obituaries and crop reports. He was wrong. Sadly the collected masses turned and laughed.
