Default HD radio won't just go away.

Why should more channels of the same content be something people would
want?


That's just it! The HD 2 channels in most markets are totally
non-duplicative of the Analog/HD1 channel content. NY has, for example,
things like traditional jazz, country, classic hip hop, 50's and early
60's
oldies, standards, etc. that are not available on main channels.


Why should formats that are not stations now be added as additional HD
channels. Where is the logic in that?


Because many formats are excluded because, with the finite number of FMs in
any market, there is not room for the second tier of formats. With HD 2
channels, there is.
