Retailers giving up on HD Radio

Of course, most of the FM-HD stations are NPR, which bilked Congress
out of tens-of-millions for upgrades to HD.

Of about 1800 active HD signals, only about 100 or so are NPR.


As checked on hdradio.com...

If you choose to see all stations in Minnesota (or audible in MN,
since they add some Wisconsin and North Dakota stations, too), the
list states this;

"There are 42 stations broadcasting 59 HD Radio channels, more coming
soon*"


Of those 59 HD channels, *** 32 *** of them are NPR affiliated
stations; the vast majority of which are MPR - Minnesota Public
Radio... Over half of the available channels carry NPR programming.

So, if what Mr. Eduardo is saying is correct, that would mean the
balance of the "only about 100 or so" NPR affiliated stations - 68 or
so, by my count - would have to be scattered amongst the rest of the
50 states? That's way less than 1.5 HD channels PER STATE!!!

Tell me, Mr. "Eduardo", how much did you earn for selling your soul,
to shill for this disgusting corporation, Ibiquity, anyway?
