"New Zune To Include HD Radio"

"Bob Struble, President/CEO of iBiquity Digital Corporation,
commented, We are very excited about the launch of HD Radio technology
on Microsoft’s Zune HD. We are planning with the HD Radio Alliance to
promote Zune HD to consumers."

http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=1342290

MS only included HD Radio for the free publicity for its failed Zune
lines.

"DEAD AIR: Radio’s Great Leap Forward stalling in the Valley" December
5, 2007

"Nearly two years after the Valley’s four Clear Channel stations went
HD, several high-end car manufacturers have promised to offer HD
radios as an option on new models. But while Ford announced in
September that it offers the radios as dealer-installed upgrades — as
have Mini, Volvo, Jaguar and BMW — local Ford and Lincoln dealers had
not heard of HD and said they don’t offer the option."

"Are Ford and HD Radio in Sync?"

"The radio industry will, of course, promote Ford for free in exchange
for this development as part of the presumably soon-to-expire pledge
of airtime to the HD radio effort."

http://www.hear2.com/2007/09/are-ford-and-hd.html

Ford used the HD Alliance, too, but didn't bother to install HD Radio,
because it is too costly and doesn't work - LOL!

It's a fad. H[ybrid] D[igital] Radio will be in everyone's car, and people
will eventually stop caring, since the same 40-song playlists we all love
to hate will be simulcasted on each frequency all across the dial in the
higher-quality audio. Then unless ClearChannel and Infinity finally listen
to its audience, radio ratings will drop back to their current crappy level
and you better sell all your stock.

"U.S. automakers not jumping into HD Radio"

"The radios are estimated to cost about $45 each to install, or each
of the three carmakers about $150 million to $200 million annually,
automotive industry sources said."

BMW HD Radio Troubleshooting Guide

http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0...NThmMjdh&hl=en

It should remain a luxery item that smply doesn't work correctly - I
wonder, what horse BMW has in this race, that they are installing this
****, with customer complaints, forthcoming. I can understand Volvo,
since Ford owns Volvo and is an investor in iNiquity. Same with
Switzerland, now that they are considering IBOC for its public
broadcasters - of course, all the tests were run by Clear Channel and
Cox. Does anyne have any brains, or balls?
