At least one of my local fm radio stations says that their radio station
"is now broadcasing in high-definition" on their radio frequency.

So what I need to know now is

Does anyone know where I can buy a high-definition radio?

and how much do they cost?

:-) They probably cost more, sound worse, consume so much battery power
that they have to be provided with a separate mains power supply (which
isn't shown in the brochure of course), and will be enthusiastically
advertised for at least two years before any of them actually appear in the
shops, by which time you'll have forgotten why you were interested and
spent your money on something much more worthwhile It won't be available as
an option in the new car you're thinking of buying, and half the programmes
will be transmitted in mono.

Rod.

Call letters of the station please?

He probably doesn't remember, but dollars to donuts he has a
recording of it on cassette tape somewhere...

==============================
The HORRIBLE thing, is that dvdputz is correct for the first time.
Several Seattle stations are broadcasting in "high definition" also:

I think his being correct, however, is just an accident.

When the broadcaster doesn't know what is going on with current technology,
it doesn't bode well for new technology. A snippet from that page:

================================================== ===============
What does it mean that 98.1 KING FM is broadcasting in HD Radio=3F Technology?

For those with digital receivers, the noise and interference that cause the
static, hiss, pops, and fades heard on today's analog radios will be
virtually eliminated.
================================================== ===============

There is no static, hiss, or pops on FM radio. Fading (which includes loss
of stereo) is the only artifact of a reduced-quality FM signal.

Typical radio promotion gimick.

Here is an excerpt from Chuck Blore's future book showing how
things were done 'back then'
-----------------------
When High Fidelity was a big deal in records,
Gordon's stations were all Hi-Fi Radio."

"What made them Hi-Fi. Was that just a name?"

"Oh no. He always made it seem very special. And very real. When we
began promoting "Hi-Fi is coming to radio" all the stations were told
to back off the higher frequencies of the actual signal a little bit
each day for two weeks.

Without anyone really noticing, at least that was the theory, the
actual stations signal gradually became kind of dull, and duller. But
then, we had the big announcement ... `Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome a
new millenia in radio broadcasting. This is K E L P HI-FI RADIO' and
with that we slapped all those frequency adjustments back to normal
and, Oh God! What a difference."

-------------------------

Don't believe 50% of what you hear on radio promos, the ignore the
remainder

Is this the same as "IBOC" digital radio ? AIUI this is the US digital
radio system, where radio stations broadcast a digital carrier close to
their analogue one. It is VERY different to the European DAB radio system
which is usually implemented in a different frequency band. (In the UK the
DAB system occupies Band III, whereas VHF FM occupies Band II)
