Default Ibiquity IBOC - no hd radio upgrade needed!

I love it - In my area several stations that were transmitting
ibiquity digital junk have turned it off but they continue to have
spots proclaiming “now in crystal clear HD”. *Thus leading consumers
to believe that they are hearing their radio station in “crystal clear
HD” – with no hd radio upgrade needed!

Talk about confusion! *Good way to promote a product – let them think
they already have it! *Struble you’re a genius.

Oh yea – hd radio is exciting! * No need to buy one (if they were even
available) because you already have one!


The Alliance and their radio partners are to blame for the lack of or
**** poor marketing!
When buying a new car if you ask the sales person about digital radio,
they'll sell you Satellite radio?
When HD units start coming standard in new cars is when the rubber
will hit the road..
consumers won't understand why the receiver flip flops between analog
& digital.
Enough blame can go around for everyone!
