"CLEAR CHANNEL PULLS THE PLUG ON SOME HD RADIO STATIONS"

Yea, there's a real demand for HD Radio - LOL!


This is not a question of lack of demand for HD radio....just a lack of
demand for the formats that were nixed...like the all-polka channel.


(CC Calls each of the formats a 'station'.)


In rality, the formats will be repalced with more mainstream formats.


The HD channels are just clever reworks off the main analog channels -
most of the channels are just jukeboxes and offer consumers no
compelling content. HD Radio is a farce:
