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.


Kind of makes you wonder if his professional education came at the
Customer Service training seminar at Microsoft.


Sorry, David. As one Brother-in-Sound to another...it had to be said.


As someone who lived radio from the age of 13 onward, I ONLY listen in
the car; and then only to Sirius for the BBC, FNC and music; and a
little AM New Talk (usually DXing at the same time). The FM here is
terrible. I use web radio at home and at work.
