In other words, it's about the priorities of commercial radio. It took 5
years to get the first 100 FM stereo stations going after stereo was
authorized, so look for a long wait in small markets.


Yeah, but FM stereo was an improvement. HD, on the other hand, is QRM.


Actually, listening to HD FM without the preemphasis curve, even in mono
(which is how most radio is listened to) is much more an improvement than
the change from mono to stereo.
