Consumershave shown NO interest in upgrading to HD. The receivers just
aren't

selling.

It's too late for HD radio.


I recall people saying the same thing about FM. (And "stereo").

Neither took off until the FCC mandated inclusion of FM.

Stock up on the Kool-Aid because you're going to need it.


No Kool-Aid...just facts.


The FCC NEVER mandated the inclusion of FM. There are still plenty of
AM-only radios out there on the shelves (though it costs so little to add
FM nowadays that there are many fewer than there were 15 years ago).


But there are many radios that do not have AM today.
