Default Ibiquity Digital Radio in My Hometown

I live in a community of about 10,000 people. We have 2 local radio
stations, one AM and one FM and both transmit in glorious digital
radio. Every Friday night the fire department raffles off an HD radio
and the citizens go crazy over it! The town counsel just declared
June 30th as HD Radio Day and the whole town celebrated! The
festivities were on both radio stations and the WHOLE town was
listening (unless of course you were at the HD radio party in the town
hall). All the store merchants including the local Wal-Mart are
having a trade-your-radio-in day. If you bring in your old radio they
will give you $20 off a new digital radio. Next month the town is
planning on having a town picnic and all the old radios collected will
be burned in a big pile. (And the picnic will be on the radio for
those shut-ins who are unable to attend). Thank God for glorious HD
radio.
