stereo was mismanged and look what happend.. it died.

It's different.....

The FCC refused to pick an AM stereo standard...therefore there were
competing and incompatible systems on the air. *ANd manufacturers had to
choose which format to create radios for it. *The "market chooses"
approach took too long, and when a system became the standard, there was
no music left on AM.

In this case there is ONE standard! *And everybody is on board with it!

Car manufacturers don't have to pick a standard, stations dont have to
pick a standard, listeners don't have to pick a standard.

Listeners, by and large, have chosen their preferred standard: ordinary
analog...

Listeners have not made any conscious choice. *Most of them don't even know
what HD radio is...

which they can already receive without replacing all their existing radios

But those radio's don't/won't last forever....what will they be replaced
with? *What will be in the cars they will buy in 2-3-4 or 5 years from now?

In the past many were content with AM radios. *When they replaced them, they
wanted newer technology (FM).

Now you can't even buy a radio without FM, right?

(well, much of the time anyway.. since IBOC interferes with reception of
adjacent, second adjacent, and even in some cases, co-channel reception.

IBOc doesn't "interfere" with anything you really want to listen to.

If there is a co-chanel station you want to hear, you are probably not in
the priomary listening zone...as stations would not be placed that close to
each other in the same area.- Hide quoted text -
