Oh, really?

You really expect an opinion in favor of HD by a direct competitor of
terrestrial radio? The link you have posted goes to a site run by a
proponent of cellular programming delivery. They hate radio.

"Black Friday for HD Radio"

"Nor was I surprised when Kurt veered left to discuss - and dismiss -
HD Radio. What fascinated me was the reaction. Any room full of
broadcasters is full of HD radio doubters, nowadays. But the vibe in
this room was remarkable for the eye-rolling and audible snickering
that greeted virtually any mention of HD."

"Will Small Markets Convert to HD Radio? Survey Suggests Not Soon"

"Of the 100, he received 50 surveys back. Of those, only one station
had converted to HD-R. Eighty-six percent of the remaining respondents
indicated it would be highly unlikely or somewhat unlikely they would
convert their stations over the next 12 months, according to his
report. Six percent indicated it would be neither likely nor unlikely,
and only 6% indicated it would be likely, he told me. Most respondents
cited cost as the main factor prohibiting conversion; others felt the
technology had been overhyped and that FM analog is good enough in the
listeners’ minds, McIntyre says."
