From Radio-info.com:
More locally-unique HD-2 channels are part of the "second generation." Some of these have already gotten attention - CBS Radio's revival of the call letters of WNEW-FM, New York, and the "Live Rock from the WMMR Archives" by Greater Media in Philly. Some formats on the multicasting list being announced today haven't gotten as much print, and the HD Radio Alliance is playing up their local-ness and diversity. Like: Emmis' "Local 107"/local artists, in Austin. "Indie Rock" on Clear Channel HD-2 signals in Portland (OR), Oklahoma City, and Seattle. And Entercom's "Rock Independent Radio - 94.7 Too" based off of KRNK. That means Portland, Oregon's going to have two "indie" stations competing - at least on the market's small number of extant HD receivers and then online. Independent rock also wins a helping hand from Clear Channel's Coachella Festival-inspired "eRockster" HD-2 offering in L.A., Philadelphia and D.C. There are also some hyper-local channels, such as Clear Channel's "Radio Free Hawaii." While Beasley's doing a country "Gretchen 99.9" for Miami, CC's featuring "Old Skool Hip Hop" in Boston, and CBS Radio's putting "Chick Rock" on in Dallas. Notice that most of these are music-centered and often relatively jock-free. The Alliance's Diane Warren says "we know from our research that if consumers hear content they can relate to in their market - and they can find it easily on HDRadio.com - the programming will inspire them to buy an HD Radio." |
