Default HD radio is not the only IBOC standard - DRM is also

There are not enough radio stations. Which is why some people can't
find anything worth listening to, and complain "Today's radio is all
crap".


Utter ********. A thousand stations of crap is still crap. It is the
dilution of funds by excessive quantity that prevents radio stations
putting together a competent programme list, which takes money, money
and more money.

Fewer, better funded radio stations are the way to quality. And the
first step to that is to remove all the radio stations which are
simply record players. This goes in spades for ghetto radio, where the
entire output is a single genre. And in spades and trumps for radio
stations which push loathsome religious agendas.
