In most cases, HD does not even increase the power bill of a
transmitter plant by 10%... often much less. And the licence fee,
which is market based, is minimal. Many stations have leased HD3
channels for specialized programming, and are making money on that.

Only one significant group is approaching bankruptcy, and it is
unlikely that their FM HDs will be turned off.
