Nonsense, Craig. I was hoping to avoid having to belabor this, by saying that
some niches are bigger than others. The more choice a radio station offers in
its multiplex, the more people they can attract, who would otherwise be using
Internet or satellite radio.
When I had my HD Radio tuner at home, I could use it, to listen to BBC World
Service. Now, I use Internet radio for that. That's an example. BBC was one
subchannel of WAMU. In analog FM, try to find it.
As the comments clearly show, once people have access to it,
they do like it.
No, the comments do not say this. They say exactly the opposite.
Craig, read this carefully, "You do not know what you are talking about."
Educate yourself before arguing. You do this constantly.
"My new car has HD Radio. And, it sounds great! To me, better than satellite. I
wish that I could get a home or portable receiver more easily."
"I agree! I love the sound of HD Radio and satellite radio does not compare (at
least in my vehicle). I am looking to buy one of the top ranked mid-size SUV's
and was disappointed to see that NONE of them offered HD Radio!"
"I really like HD radio and have since the beginning. But, until I moved to a
house that was too close to some towers (country western interfering with all
the NPR stations) and aluminum siding, I had not considered it. When I realized
the FCC nor NPR would fix this issue, I bought a Sony HD kitchen radio. Problem
solved."
And several more wondering why it's so darned hard to get HD Radio in their
cars. And so on. How exactly are these comments "the opposite," Craig? Spend
your time reading, before arguing.
