Rockcats and wmrd

WMRD 1150 has not been carrying the New Britain Rockcats during their New Hampshire road trip. A talk show is running instead. WTIC FM HD2 is running the Cats as usual.

I went to a game during the first homestand. The fine print on the WMRD ad says that the station will be carrying home games only. Too bad; I actually have an HD radio, but it's a home model and does me no good in the car, which is where I'd usually be listening. Makes me wonder just how many HD receivers are in use out there in the real world. I know that posters on the radio-info boards like to say that "nobody" has HD, but that's obviously untrue and they all have an axe to grind, usually citing IBOC splatter's effect on out-of-market DXing on adjacent channels. So is HD penetration really substantial enough among non-radio geek/DXer types that advertisers will spend on an HD-only broadcast?
 
Are you sure about WMRD-AM stating home games only? The opening series at Richmond and then Harrisburg were indeed on the station.
