No. MOST people don't want Hybrid Digital Radio, at all. That's part of
the problem.

I get all the HD radio channels via AOL Radio (CBS) or I Heart Radio
(Clear Channel) at home via the web. Why bother with a costly tuner?

- You miss what I'm saying, Roy. *Damned near everyone uses radio in a

- done at home, at work, or other usage that's not in cars. The bulk

DPM - No I do understand and agree with what
you are saying : That On-Average the Averages
tell us that roughly 30% of the 15 Minute Radio
Listening Segments are done in-the-automobile.
Based on the larger 'great sample' population.
-but- What I was simply point-out was that within
the big sample were 'individuals' who were closer
to the extremes 0% and 100%; and identified one
radio listening lifestyle* that could account for that.
