Suppose all the radio stations switch to iboc = In Behest Of Commie,fed
fascist govt.What happens to our Analog radios then? Way I see
it,concerning In Behest Of Commie,fed fascist govt = iboc,there will be
a lot of fed govt Commies making a lot of money.


HD, like FM stereo, is backwards compatible. You hear an analog signal on
current radios, and it detects and switches to the HD signal on an HD

radio.



"Even Mr. Struble of iBiquity put the most optimistic date for an analog
shutdown as 12 years from now, though he thought that was unlikely."

By the way I read this, Bob Struble, President, CEO and Chairman of iBiquity
Digital Corporation, is anticipating an analog shutdown sometime after 2018.

So, please reassure us. Tell us Bob Struble was misquoted by the New York
Times. Tell us analog radio will remain for HD radio receivers to be
compatible with.

Just saying HD radio is currently compatible with analog doesn't really
address the point, does it?
