pretty well educated, and even my friends who are gadget freaks and
"first adopters" are not interested in HD Radio.

That last sentence contains the reason HD Radio will die: no consumer
interest.

The same thing could've been said for the beginings of FM. No consumer
interest.

However, as the programming content improved, people got more interested.

As the technology for transmitter/receiving FM got better, people got more
interested.
