Boston Acoustics Lowers Price Of HD Radio Model

The high cost of an HD Radio has been a thorn in the side of those
in the industry that want HD2 multicast offerings as an available
option for the FM radio listener. Boston Acoustics has now decided to
help out a bit by lowering the manufacturer's suggested retail price
on its Recepter Radio HD from $499 to $299, effective today.

"We're very excited about the level of interest our Recepter Radio HD
has had from both consumers and the media," Boston Acoustics VP/Sales
Phil Cohn said. "We were the first to offer a table radio featuring
digital HD Radio technology and we are the first to be able to make
this technology accessible to a broader audience of radio listeners."
Cohn added that his company continues to work closely with the
broadcasting industry on the rollout of additional HD Radio-capable
receivers.

More than 3,000 stations are in the process of upgrading to HD Radio
broadcasting, with more than 700 on the air and several hundred also
launching new multicast channels this spring.
