The sole-source, non-competitive bid to iNiquity, of our free airways,
is a travesty. Here are my comments from a recent Washington Post
article that addresses this issue:

"The FCC Tunes Into HD Radio--And May Turn Off Distant AM"

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/faste...d_radio_n.html

Here are my comments, from that article:

"The FCC has just given away our free airwaves to a few corporate
thugs, including iBiquity Digital Corporation. Especially on AM, HD/
IBOC causes adjacent-channel interference, which I have confirmed
listening to WTWP in Wash., D.C.- the digital sidebands are over-
powering on 1490 and 1510 and would clobber any existing stations on
those frequencies. Few HD radios have been sold, as consumers have not
bought into this farce. This whole setup is just to the advantage of
the HD Radio Alliance, as they own most of the 1,200 stations
broadcasting in HD - the small mom-and-pop stations have lost coverage
and will probably disappear. This FCC sole-source, non-competitive
contract award to iBiquity is a total travesty !"

Think about adding your comments - looks like the reporter is fishing
for a follow-up story. There is a large group of us that have been
contacting the major newspapers that have run stories on HD Radio and
emailing them various HD Radio articles, especially this one:

"HD Radio on the Offense"

http://www.eastbayexpress.com/2007-0...on-the-offense

We have heard back from some of the reporters. Try Google Blog search
for "HD Radio" and add your comments to every HD Radio blog that you
have time for. Although authorized by the FCC, they have left it up to
the marketplace to decide its fate - it is far from a done-deal, as HD/
IBOC supporters would have you believe. With almost total consumer
apathy, HD Radio will probably fail, as AM Stereo did in the 1980's.
Use your voice - you will be heard !

Better you save your stinking breath for that job interview. You'll need
some serious cash to buy that flatscreen HDTV very soon. Your favorite
standard definition propaganda TV station is about to go dark on you.

How has my receiver gotten crippled? Think like a normal radio user
for a bit. The radio still picks up signals and plays them, right?
So? What's the problem?

It would be something else if the radio were totally unuseable, as
will happen with analog TV sets that are not hooked up to CATV
services post-2009. Or like when the UK shifted its TV service from
VHF channels with 405 lines of resolution to UHF with 625 lines.

The IBOC signal takes up 5 channels.

My point is, Is the radio still PLAYING and picking up a station?

I think that's probably a problem with your particular receiver - too
wide-band?

I have some cheap-ass AM radios that will only pick up three or four
of the big guns at various parts on the dial. Sometimes one over the
other. That's a worst case scenario anyway

But most consumer radios - especially the no-brand/off-brand types -
are not very selective when it comes to the MW band anymore.
