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?

The situation would be much better if the band was split up between
analog and digital.
