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.


Right, Eduardo - almost 50% of listening is during rush-hours. Aside
from that, no one is buying home HD radios - LOL!
