HD has failed to deliver on its promise of better audio. And it's never
made a case for content.
Here are some content examples.
Texas. Austin, Houston, Dallas, McAllen., E lPaso. Tejano HD programming on
one Univision station per market, giving these markets their only Tejano
service. Tejano is a music style of third to fourth generation Hispanics in
Texas, and has considerable following, but not enough for a main channel
service.
LA. Amor Celestial. On KLVE HD2, only contemporary Christian all music
format available in LA metro, with signal most usable in the Inland Empire
as well. Has its own studio, not just a computer, with PD, jocks, artist
interviews, etc.

scattered attempts by broadcasters to promote the digital signal

"HD Radio Has Yet To Take Off"
"But the technology hasn't taken off as expected. NBC 5 could not find
one person who owns a hi-def radio and neither could KISS FM's program
director. I don't know anybody that has one yet, Davis said."

"High-def radio is here, but is anyone listening?"
"But 19 Utah stations are broadcasting 31 high-definition radio
channels with six more coming soon... It seems the stations are
investing in technology the public isn't quite ready to embrace....
Some have heard it referred to but never had cause to get one. Unless
you are a gadget person, few of these radios have sold."

"HD's here. Who's listening?"
"But consumers haven't exactly been stampeding to electronics stores
for the new HD Radio sets that are required to tune in the digital
signals."

"Digital radio -- now synonymous with the HD Radio brand name --
apparently has yet to catch on with listeners in this area..."
