Will HD Radio survive 2013?

Chuck said:
They put it on an entirely new digital only band. They did not do a "band-aid" approach by trying to make it coexist on an existing analog channel. This approach makes a lot of sense, but these days, common sense seems to be lacking on this side of the pond.

The NAB screamed for years that a new band of digital only channels would destroy the radio industry,
orphan trillions of dollars in broadcast and receiver equipment, worse than the move of the FM band from
42-50 Mhz.

My little $100 Accurian tabletop radio has worked reliably for 6 years or so, likewise those of 4 friends (2 technical
types and 2 musicologist types)

Other than AM HD at night not being a good idea, it works well. Nowhere NEAR the engineering compromise of FM
analog stereo with a -23dB change in S/N ratio ... same as a 200 times difference in transmitter power.
