Default Time to throw in the towel on HD Radio !

"HD Radio is yesterday's future. We're coming close to the time when
the towel will be thrown in. HD Radio is not going anywhere. Worse, no
radio person will ever use the HD Radio campaign to diagram successful
radio advertising. To continue this chase is to throw manpower and
money away. Want to read a review on one HD receiver? Try this from
Wired.com. I'll give you a quote: Remember those crappy $15 AM/FM
cassette radios from the 80s? The HD100 looks just like one and has
the sound to match. Consumers aren't biting."

Ha Ha Struble! Ha Ha Eduardo!


I hope you're right about the future of AM HD. Several stations have
begun testing at night in anticipation of this September. If this
happens the AM braodcast band will be worthless at night. This is so
sad to see what an inept government we have.
