"What might have worked prior to the recession has lost any hope of
success now; the potential of new models of receivers in an economy
where people have all reduced discretionary spending is nil. AM HD is
and was a dreadful idea, and the best way to discover this is to buy
an HD car radio and listen. To say it is annoying is an
understatement. I had a belief in HD on FM. But there are no radios
anywhere at retail, and
scant few on the web. What could have worked were the economy robust
will be like AM stereo... too late to meet market needs. In a few
years, stations will have developed robust new alternative delivery
options, and HD won't be one of them. Like a relationship gone bad,
it's hard to admit when something is over. I have pretty much decided
that HD is not even worth the discussion time any more... with an
exception being to hope that the 10 db increase in digital power on FM
not be approved."

A show of hands for those who knew that the IBOC booters would blame
HD Radio's failure on the recession - ME!
