RDS reduces main channel loudness by a quarter of a dB which the
Program Director will use to get the engineer fired for lousy ratings.

Looks promising but my wish is it would have also RDS function on FM.
The once proposed and cancelled flag ship Satellit was to have it.

My auto radio has RDS and it is almost worthless. Only a couple
stations in all of Central California use it. And when I was in
Sacramento, only two or three stations there used it. Not widely used
to matter whether the radio has it or not - to me, anyway.

I saw KBS FM-2 use RDS once about a couple years ago, don't know whether
they were just testing it or what, but haven't seen it since.
