Interesting article about High Definition radio. The article ends with the
following quote: "...eventually, stations will broadcast only digitally --
Stearn says that point probably won't be reached for 15 years -- and every
radio you now own will become a useless relic that you'll try to unload on
eBay."

Before you start selling all your analog radios, please understand that the
speaker of the quote was Vicki Stearn, a spokesman for iBiquity, whose
future depends upon HD radio becoming popular.

My guess is that analog radio will outlive iBiquity.


IBOC was the dumbest idea ever. The NAB didn't want a regular DAB
type infrastructure because it meant every station had equal
facilities. Dumb asses. Now they have 250 new competitors in every
single market due to SDARS.
