The sad fact is that the current version of HD radio will live on for
quite a few years.

Its death, if at all, will be long and miserable and create
interference havoc far into the future unless average people like you
and me are vocal enough to quicken it's demise, if that's even
possible.

That inept government agency that is charged with governing the
broadcast airwaves has essentially sold the airwaves to a corporate
entity and probably find some way of allowing it to continue in the so-
called interest of the public.

Since the public doesn't even know what's happening to their airwaves
it's unlikely there will be enough public interest to make a
difference.

Unfortunately, it will be a problem that will be with us for a long
time.

IBOC,

FM "HD" Radio Is ALIVE And Growing !

FM "HD" Radio does 'fit' into the FM Radio Band Plan
and not change FM Radio Listening habbits very much.

Plus it will give FM "HD" Radio Listeners more Listening
'Options' and better Quality Radio Listening overall.

AM/MW "HD" Radio is another Story and may in-fact
have a short life -but- Only Time Will Tell !

The public doesn't know what's happening to their airwaves, but when
enough people stop listening to AM to make it commercially viable,
you'll see plenty of change and you'll see it real quick. And if
anything HD AM will just accelerate the process.

And even if HD radio completely fails, IBOC could still stagger on. They'll
also try IBOC pay radio and consider any other sort of IBOC digital data
transmission.

The economics for all the other digital options might be just as bad as they
are for IBOC-AM, but it will take years to sort all of this out.
