Well, I think "they don't want to be in the same position as digital TV."

Also, we should note that not only are they promoting HD radio, they are
promoting new program services "hidden channels that you can only get with
an HD radio."  

IF TV stations had new services -- like "The Tube" -- they would change a
few words in that last sentence.

The 800-pound gorilla here is your friends in the cable business.  Maybe
they're figuring how to put big reels of fiber on the back of every car to
extend their reach onto roads.

Rell them out in the morning, reel them back in on the way home at night.

No, but I have seen and listened to tons of ads promoting the 
programming carried by broadcasters. And i do remember when color TV 
was introduced that there were MANY promos pushing the wonders of 
color TV.

A better question to ask, is why, just months after most radio 
stations started to upgrade to digital broadcasting, radio 
broadcasters are spending more than $500 MILLION in generic 
promotions of HD Radio, with significant participation by the CE 
industry and the automobile industry.
