It's a fad. H[ybrid] D[igital] Radio will be in everyone's car, and people
will eventually stop caring, since the same 40-song playlists we all love
to hate will be simulcasted on each frequency all across the dial in the
higher-quality audio. Then unless ClearChannel and Infinity finally listen
to its audience, radio ratings will drop back to their current crappy level
and you better sell all your stock.

"U.S. automakers not jumping into HD Radio"

"The radios are estimated to cost about $45 each to install, or each
of the three carmakers about $150 million to $200 million annually,
automotive industry sources said."

It should remain a luxery item that smply doesn't work correctly - I
wonder, what horse BMW has in this race, that they are installing this
****, with customer complaints, forthcoming. I can understand Volvo,
since Ford owns Volvo and is an investor in iNiquity. Same with
Switzerland, now that they are considering IBOC for its public
broadcasters - of course, all the tests were run by Clear Channel and
Cox. Does anyne have any brains, or balls?
