FM failed. Twice. The public didn't care. There was virtually no
uptake.
Look at it now.
FM didn't require people to throw out their old radios and buy new ones.
It didn't? How did you listen to FM on an AM radio. Similarly, HD does not
require anyone buy a new radio unless they want to... the analog signals
continue to be broadcast. Of course, you had the choice of simply not buying
an FM radio, which is what 99% of the people did for the first 25 years of
FM broadcasting.
Color TV didn't require people to throw out their B/W sets and buy an
expensive new color set. Color TV didn't interfere with existing B/W
television services and was still viewable on existing B/W sets.
Just as current radios will continue to receive analog signals.
So, then are you saying that HD radio, once all stations go to that,
will require everyone to purchase an HD radio - or could one still
listen to the station on a regular radio - with just poorer quality
reception??- Hide quoted text -

"HD Hypocrisy"
"Here's a few more reasons why only iBiquity and a few clueless radio
group heads could make a big thing out of HD radio tagging... The very
damn radio stations that broadcast in HD offer no programming worth
listening to. HD Radio is a virtual sewer of formats owners don't want
on their terrestrial frequencies and other assorted garbage that no
one sane would listen to -- let alone spend money for new radios --
tagging or not."

"Radio: Internet Radio or HD Radio. You choose!"
"Here's the choice - supplementary channels of varied audio quality
from the same radio chains that deliver today's unimaginative
terrestrial radio formats or worldwide radio of every imaginable
format and style where the passion is in the performance?... And, most
of all, who'll apologize for the time and money spent, the years the
radio industry bought into it, and the deceitfulness suffered because
of Ibiquity and the HD Radio Alliance's misguidance."

15 million consumers have chosen to pay for uncensored "radio".

"Let's Play Music Media Trick or Treat?"
"Buy an HD radio and you get many new channels of music and radio
programming. No. Buy an HD radio and get taken for a fool. The radio
operators, however, won't be taken for fools. They're investing
relatively nothing in the future of HD (wisely for them) and propping
up the HD proponents with a meaningless HD initiative. (HD is the
equivalent of trick or treating and returning home with an Apple that
has a razor blade in it)."
