The main purpose of FM HD is to provide digital main channel audio
and robust texting; the digital audio is the only enhancement for AM
of significance. Simulcasts are not measured separately in radio
ratings.

What is not significant is your constant pontificating.

You realize that you have painted yourself into a corner, either you are
for real and look like a complete jackass or you are a faker.

I don't know which situation is worse for you but that's where you are
at in the news group.

If you are for real I sure hope people in your industry don't read this
news group for your own sake.

I'm sure they don't read this group, as few were ever DXers. That is why I
get invited to speak at NAB, RAB, NAB Europe, etc.

For the moment, the main advantage of HD is having a digital version of the
content on the analog signal: as more receivers arrive, there will be
increased interest in the secondary channels, and the use of closed channels
for special data delivery applications. That's the entire business model of
HD, in fact.
