That last sentence contains the reason HD Radio will die: no consumer
interest. The industry can engage in all the masturbatory exercises it
likes, but if the public is not interested, that's the end of the story.
The public is not interested. The big push several years ago was to
"educate the public" about HD Radio. Well, the public is not only
educated now, but has post-graduate degrees. The public is willfully
ignoring HD Radio.

Meanwhile, the noise
in the existing radio bands drives listeners like me - people who really
enjoy radio - to the web. I'm just hopeful this whole thing shakes out
soon.

That is the concern. HD Radio is done. There is no question about that
from anyone who is awake. Eventually, its enthusiasts will figure it
out. But by then, the damage to the core may be irreversible.

Even Radio World, the biggest shill HD Radio ever had is now saying to
broadcasters, "Don't expect HD Radio to bail you out."

Such insight!

Not so much. I encounter one or two non-stereo
stations every week when I'm on the road.



Did you notice that? You said ALL. Not most. Not virtually. You said,
and quoting, he "ALL. That no Mono FMs have survived.

And that's not true.

Please go back and check the original post.



Sweetheart, that was a direct quote. Your words.

- A large number of recent FM conversions (sports/talkers) are
extinguishing
- the stereo lamp. No need for stereo on these stations, and it does
save a
- small amount on energy bills and increases the SNR on the fringes.



it appears maus and other spout out claims like the one above and cannot
name one fm sportts/talker that has exstinguished their stereo pilot.

people like maus like to throw out comments that they cant back up

Maybe they're waiting for the prices to drop,
that's what got me to buy one, and now that I have it,
for the most part I like it. If HD goes away I'll still have a nice
table radio that can be controlled with a remote.
As much couldn't be said about the AM stereo RCVR
I had back in the day, and have long since gotten rid of.

Name a station making a dime off the HD-2 channel. Just name one.

HD Radio has been around for seven years. Seven years! Where's the
revolution?

As I said, the public has spoken.

They need a primary revenue stream first! Radio cannot sustain
shareholders. Radio stations should provide jobs for a few,
entertainment and information for a few more. it should not be run as a
profit center for a giant bozo corporation.
