Sure they have, there's Jazz, 70's Folk, Chorale, Ethnic, Dance...There
are lots of formats available that are not available on the regular
broadcast band.

And not widely available on HD.

There are ALL available where I am.


Not whare I am. Nor where I've been so far this year.

You don't get out much.... BTW...You shouldn't make absolute judgements
only based on your own limited experiences.

Most HD channels I've heard, are dupes of the baseband audio,

That's the HD-1 channel. The HD-2 and HD-3, etc...channels can be
anything they want.

Can. Doesn't mean they are.

I just showed you they are. If you live near a Top 15 Moraket and 85% of
America does.

If you live near a major city (and 85% of America lives within the top 15
markets) you have plenty of HD choices.


I live in Chicago. Big enough for you?

Take a look!

Maybe you should buy an HD radio and discover what's out there..instead of
parroting whatever negative information you may have heard.
