It doesn't offer the improvement in audio promised.


It does.



Actually, it doesn't.


Yes, it does. Have you listened to any AM stations in HD?

A number of studies which have been conducted have specifically excluded
trained ears, musicians, and audiophiles, in favor of largely uninvolved,
uninterested, and unhearing individuals,


This is not true.

9 out of 10 doctors also recommended cigarette smoking to aid and
improve digestion.


Where is this study?

The only meaningful studies that will determine HD Radio's technological
solutions to improving audio quality will be studies that measure noise,
distortion, and precision of reproduction,
Here, HD falls quite flat.


I have not seen a study where people can tell a difference in any of the
attributes mentioned above.

However, people are not buying it for "audio improvment".


"People" aren't buy it at all. Comparatively speaking.


Well...people aren't buying RADIOS at all....so it's a non-starter.

If HD Radio offered the vastly sought after programming you claim, and the
audio quality is so superior, radios would be flying off the shelves.
They're not.


I didn't say "vastly sought after"...I would use the term alternative
programming. It's more niche.

I already addressed the fact that people are not moved by the argument of
quality.

Hard reality. Sales tells the story that marketing wants not to have
told.


Again, the whole story is that there is apathy about ALL radio, Ham, SWL,
Scanners, XM, HD, AM....

Does sales tell a story about that too?

And sales demonstrate that the pubic isn't buying what iBiquity is
selling.


No, it doesn't. There is no "sales finish line"...

As has been said before...content and programming is what people go to radio
for.

There has been no effort made by iBiquity or stations themselves to sell HD
based on the additional formats streams available.

Thanks, for nothing.


Your welcome. Let me know if you need any more. ;-)
