HD radio was supposed to be the next great thing in "free" radio,
offering clear, digital "CD quality sound" and more listening choices.

Looks like the buying public voted with their wallets..

HD radio you're the biggest loser.. goody by!

HD radio IS a big loser. �The problem is it's still here and will
probably linger for years to come.

If HD is really the loser some would have us believe, it will still linger
because the stations that already have it won't have any incentive to ditch the
gear they've acquired, because it wouldn't bring much beyond scrap metal value
in the used market.
Of course whenever I listen to the table radio in the other room it'll probably
be an HD station.
...and any listener feedback from me will likely reflect my satisfaction with
the improvements that technology brings.
So what's a station GM to do, keep what some listeners (the ones that respond)
say they like, or listen to a few querulous snivelers on usenet which is known
as a forum for whiners?

But, HD Radio at least doubles their power bills, requires on-going
troubleshooting, and there are on-going fees to iBiquity. i would
think stations, as radio groups declare bankruptcy, will eventually
pull the plug.
