There are over 1000 HD stations on the air. There are commitments for
several thousand more. It already happened.

We shall see - many experts disagree with you.

Like any change, there will be some who disagree. They are very few in
number.

There is no
interest/demand for HD/IBOC radio, from the general public.

Of course there isn't. The poromotion of HD on a massive scale just began
and the 2.0 design spec receivers have not arrived at retail yet.

Keep in mind that in the first 3 years of FM stereo, only about 100 stations
converted. It took FM as a band another 8 to 10 years to become economically
viable after stereo was introduced, and much had to do with government
"forced" regulation. It took 6 years for portable CD players to drop below
$200... and that is about $300 in today's dollars.

Actually,
many stations have turned off their HD/IBOC equipment, due to listener
complaints and/or interference to other stations !


Name me 10 who have. And that would be 10 out of over 1000 HD stations on
the air, and nearly 2000 licensed by iBiquity.

Note: in several cases, HD has not worked with highly directional AMs with
high Q phasers and old transmission equipment. That is a management problem,
not an HD problem.

Here are the ten and your "thousand" on-air is B.S:

I wouldn't expect anything less, from someone who markets sleazy IBOC.
IBOC will die -
there are too many technical problems:
