HD radio wasn't created because listeners were demanding better sound.
Demand was created by radio, in response to satellite radio. If
automakers
can't sell radios because theirs no demand from consumers, how then will
dealers make money from a preimum option?


It's more than car listening. Only about 30% of radio listening is in the
car.



Have anyone but me noticed that David rarely actually addresses a
statement made here. But rather, picks a script that hits one of his
pseudo-statistical drumbeats, and repeats that, without really addressing
the issue.


The post made it seem like in-car was the end-all to HD sales. It isn't,
although the opposite applies to satellite.
