Default Hey Out-of-Control radio insiders - HD radio just isn’t needed or wanted.

The problem with most digital radio proponents is that in their zeal
for hd radio they seem to willfully forget that radio is, and should
be, consumer driven. You can always tell the proponents with their
"screw you" attitude when challenged. Fact is, hd radio doesn’t
sell. Consumers have spoken this for 7 long years but that doesn’t
seem to deter the proponents. They come up with all kinds of excuses
- not enough power, not enough receivers, not enough stations
converted, consumers need to be "educated" and the list goes on and
on. Simple fact here - except for a few out-of-control radio insiders
HD radio just isn’t needed or wanted. Time to stop the excuses and
the force-feeding tactics and move on.
