"HD Slowly Passes Into The Night"

"Radio Shack has given up on HD Radio. Their stores have two radios in
stock and both are on clearance. One radio that sold for $249 is now
on closeout at $82. The other was $149 and now sells for $99. If that
isn’t ‘get this out of here’ pricing what is? It appears no new models
are coming to replace them. No surprise really."

"More HD Fun"

"It was mentioned that retail stores such as Radio Shack are not
placing these radios on the shelf. Also, distributor such as
Crutchfield are liquidating stock, though I see a pretty decent
selection there. How does a radio manufacturer keep up with the
changes that Ibiquity keep making? It hurts. And though it is
published that consumers are more aware of HD radio, are they buying
into it? No."

"American DX Report"

"North American shortwave broadcasters have decided to conduct
research into current shortwave listening patterns in North America,
digital HD radio receivers are being removed from radio shop
inventories in the United States, and some American AM mediumwave
stations with IBOC capability are choosing to switch off due to
interference problems and the lack of listeners with IBOC receivers."

It's only a matter of time, now.

It's a good thing for AM, but maybe too bad too - for FM, it seems a
good idea.
