If "killer programming" is going to be available on HD, why not put it

because no one wants to listen to them. Why? Because they're not doing
anything worth listening to. You don't need HD to put decent programming
on the air!


I'm wondering about something. SCA is not considered broadcasting, and
therefore SCA programming was not subject to the same FCC content rules as
main channel programming. Likewise XM and Sirius.

So, the question is, could some station put Pirate Cat on its HD channel or
would the station be subject to FCC obscenity fines? Is it broadcasting or
narrowcasting? When is HD broadcasting and Sirius not?
