The formula for HD is different than web streams.

"Smaller terrestrial radio stations will probably abandon online
streaming as they'll be paying more for online streaming then they
will for regular broadcasts (and for far less of an incoming revenue
stream). This applies just the same for HD2 streaming."


Streams are paid on a per user basis. HD has a different pricing schedule,
and is a relatively low cost compared to the analog programming.
