They'd better get some HD listeners before they do that, elsewise their
listeners will abandon them.

They already are abandoning analog radio - to DIGITAL delivery systems
such
as the internet, XM & Sirius.

Every young person I know has an MP3 player/iPod which is used to listen
to
songs, in DIGITAL format, downloaded for free from the internet. They DO
NOT listen to ANALOG AM or FM radio stations like the youth of your
generation used to do.

The only means open for analog FM radio stations have to compete is to
offer
CD quality for FREE = HD! The only means open for analog AM radio's
survival is HD!

Once you have experienced HD you will never go back to analog.

Slight problem - consumers are not interested in HD Radio.

Because consumers are ignorant and do not understand ANALog OR HD radio.
They do not understand what is HD radio. http://www.HDRadio.com
All they know is that their iPods and MP3 players give them what they want -
FREE Digital quality music.

YOU HAVE TO DELIVER WHAT THE CONSUMER WANTS and it isn't analog.
