It is bad enough that they are trying to peddle that junk. What really
makes it bad is that they don't even care about the adjacent channels they
are wiping out. Now, the evening broadcasting takes it to new heights.
Quite disgusting.

Interesting changes in HD marketing afoot.

It's pretty much a big fraud being foisted upon the American consumer to
trash their perfectly good AM/FM radios in their homes and cars and instead
spend 200 to 400 dollars to buy one of the HD sets. So what are we going to
do with all these old radios? Are we going to send them to Chad via Ebay or
just let them collect dust. The FCC said they would let the market decide so
hopefully the END User consumer will drop this idea like a hot potato. And
fortunately, it seems that they are doing just that. But instead the radio
mafia still wants to jam this retarded idea down our throats. Not to mention
sell everyone a bill of goods with their 300 dollar crappy looking junk
boxes.

I noticed that WTAM was wiping out adjacent channels last night on 1100 khz
and WBT which is usually audible here was getting splattered. The best thing
to do is for people to start writing the Commission and let them know what a
boondoogle this is. Ridiculous
