"An Automobile Is An HD Radio Without Four Wheels"

By Jerry Del Colliano

Detroit Radio Advertising Group (DRAG) legendary President and COO
Bill Burton coined the catchy phrase "An automobile is a radio with
four wheels".

True enough to radio people, but if that phrase is accurate then "An
Automobile Is An HD Radio Without Four Wheels". In fact, the wheels
are coming off.

I say this because something is very suspicious in Detroit. The
proponents of HD Radio have relied on support from automakers and
marketing muscle from big box retail stores like Best Buy to sell,
well -- hardly any HD radios.

Imagine that.

If Best Buy, RadioShack and Wal-Mart can't evens sell HD radios then
maybe consumers don't want them. Is that okay to say or is it
unpatriotic?

It won't be long before Detroit automakers that have bigger fish to
fry to save their own businesses will put HD radio where it belongs --
on the scrap heap.

Many consumers who own HD radio can't even get an HD signal in major
markets.

I have BMW advertisements on AM saying they are the first auto
manufacturer to put HD radio in their cars.
