in the 70's Without cable, you were left with a handful of free over the air
TV stations. And reception wasn't reliable

Without HD radio, you are still left with no less than 30 free viable Am/Fm
radio stations.

With HD you get stations that sound a little better, but bascially are left
with the same format choices already found on Am/FM

A better move would be to improve the AM receiver by using a decent sync
detector an a variable Q IF.
