Default Bob Struble admits HD Radio sales are a flop - LOL!

"Struble: Radio Is the Last Analog Medium Standing"

"HD Radio portables — No one's buying a lot of transistor radios
anymore. The headphone radios that people used to run around the park
with are all gone, and if radio wants to continue to be a reach
medium, they've got to be in the devices people carry, which
increasingly are cell phones, MP3 players, personal navigation
devices... Insignia HD — I think this will be a nice little interim
step for jogging or working out. It proves the viability [of the
technology] and hopefully we'll get sales; but no, this is not going
to sell in the hundreds of thousands... Radio alone — the sad reality
of where it is — as a standalone device, it just doesn't exist anymore
as a category. Nobody goes into Best Buy and says 'Where's the radio
department?'"
