I am considering purchasing an HD radio later this year. Can you tell me what the make of your radio is? How does hd radio work on the AM band? Are you happy with the performance on both digital and analog stations? In Cincinnati, there are several FM hd stations but none on AM. However, there are several distant AM hd stations receivable here such as WHAS(Louisville), WTVN(Columbus), WOWO(Fort Wayne) and WIBC(Indianapolis). I am curious if I'll be able to hear those stations here in hd, seeing the hash from those station is audible here. Thanks.

WSNX as well as a bunch of other Muskegon area stations including 98.3 WLCS, 100.1 WVIB, 105.3 WCXT were all booming into Kenosha today.
How did WSNX's HD sound? I hear them mention that they are in HD all the time.<P ID="signature">______________

Pretty decent. They have done a great job with their processing. Nice and clean.

Ok here is my situation... I have been waiting for a while for the radio, so I just threw it together. A hunk of wire (4 feet) for the antenna and a small speaker. While just south of Milwaukee, I did get WBBM-AM-HD. When it kicked in my jaw dropped. Night and day compared to Analog AM. ***Dont get me wrong, I am no supporter of the present system and how it interferes**
I also got WKSH 1640 Radio Disney. Sounded great as well!
When I got back to the studios, I hooked it up to the master FM antenna.
So far it looks like the HD signal does not carry as far as the analog signal. You need a fairly decent signal level for the HD to kick in. Though the HD RDS was displaying before the HD signal would turn over.
My radio is a Panasonic CQ-CB8901U. $320 from eTronic.
It was interesting to hear the change over from Digital to analog. A very smooth transition. Kind of fades back and forth as needed.
I am looking forward to installing it in a vehical.
You should be OK with your AM stations.

Hmm... looks like a HD radio won't help me get KDIS...
their daytime analog signal is completely clobbered (with most normal setups) by a local on 1130, and there's also one on 1090. Best chance to hear them, though, is right before sunset, when I can often hear their IBOC hash on 1090 and to a lesser extent on 1130.
What I'd like HD radio to be able to do is...
you have high end AM analog tuner (super sensitive and selective), 10 foot loop antenna, full wavelength beverage antenna tuned to the station you're trying to receive, and your signal reception is ZERO, not counting the fact that you have a local adjacent < 1/4 mile away.
From the SAME location, with an HD walkman that's about the same cost as an average cassette / radio walkman is today, you get a solid clear signal on that non-existant station.
2 - you're tuned to a graveyard channel. Want to listen to a station in New Mexico, but a local in San Diego is also on the same channel, so.. there needs to be some way to select co-channels.
3 - let's say for example 770 KKOB is broadcasting HD only, while 770 WABC is analog. You have an analog radio at KKOB's transmitter site, with a large loop antenna. You hear WABC loud and clear without any trace of KKOB.
