"In-Stat: Digital Radio Set to Take Off"

"In 2006, 73 percent of respondents to an In-Stat U.S. consumer survey
were aware of HD Radio on some level."

"Sirius, XM, and HD: Consumer interest reality check" (Alexaholic)

"While interest in satellite radio is diminishing, interest in HD
shows no signs of a pulse."

http://www.hear2.com/2007/02/sirius_....html#comments

This just confirms, the lack of interest for HD Radio, on Google
Trends:

"Rethinking AM's Future"

"Only 175 or so AM stations have even licensed AM-HD. For a number of
reasons, quite a few have tried it and taken it off the air, or so the
anecdotal evidence suggests. Ibiquity no longer reports in its public
summaries whether a station is on the air. Making AM-HD work well as a
long-term investment is seen as an expensive and risky challenge for
most stations and their owners. With the bulk of successful AMs airing
news, talk and sports, the improved fidelity advantage of HD and
stereo seem only marginally attractive. There is the significant
downside of potential new interference to some of their own AM analog
listeners as well as listeners of adjacent-channel stations. And of
course we still have no nighttime authority for AM-HD."

Existing RDS has the same texting functions, as HD/IBOC. For now, HD
Radio/IBOC is dead.

And that is approximately the number of viable AMs in the top 75 markets.
65% of the US population lives in the top 75 markets.

Most of those Wal Mart shoppers around here are S..theads.They clog up
the isles and they never look where they are going.I wish I had some
kind of a little ZAPPER thingy I could take with me in there and
ZAPP/MICROWAVE/FRY!!! every one of those ''democrat'' S..theads.
A cell phone Jammer too.I wish I owned something that would ''Kill'' all
