Listening 'On-Line' is not Free Over-the-Air Radio

Yes it is. Just as watching NBC or FOX on your cable is still Free
over-the-air television. They are still sending out their waves to
their local markets. There are still some people watching/listening
to them via the antenna.

No, it's not. "Free-over-the-air" is just that...FREE OVER THE AIR.
If you watch
TV on cable or listen to radio stations online, you PAY a monthly FEE.
So, it's NOT free.
Over the air broadcasts are FREE when you grab the signal on the air
with an antenna
and WITHOUT the monthly cable/internet fee. That's free over the air.
Cable and internet
are NOT free.

Just in case you didn't know, satellite is not free either. You pay
the provider a monthly
fee to access their service.

The whole idea of HD radio is ridiculous.
