I Want My Digital Radio



Some people argue that the emergence of HD radio will make radio better, but not me. It's just the same old radio concept delivered with higher-quality audio.

“HD Radio on the Offense”

“But after an investigation of HD Radio units, the stations playing HD, and the company that owns the technology; and some interviews with the wonks in DC, it looks like HD Radio is a high-level corporate scam, a huge carny shill.”

“RW Opinion: Rethinking AM’s future”

“Making AM-HD work well as a long-term investment is seen as an expensive and risky challenge for most stations and their owners. There is the significant downside of potential new interference to some of their own AM analog listeners as well as listeners of adjacent-channel stations.”

The FCC has just given away our free airwaves to a few corporate thugs, including iBiquity Digital Corporation. 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 totally outrageous. The FCC has left it up to the marketplace, to determine the fate of HD Radio. HD Radio/IBOC is a farce !
