High definition FM broadcast's ?

Let's keep it to audio related comments please.
Some of us liberals are a little more than fed up with the current state of affairs.
If you don't like Public Radio don't worry, it won't be arround in it's current form for very long. The current administration has been bussy tinkering.

So much for keeping the discussion audio related.

I do agree that if digital radio is like digital TV, one will no longer have the option of listening to less than ideal reception as the signal fades. It'll just go. Poof! I suppose in time we'll get used to the difference, and the sudden drop out won't seem like a big deal.

From the standpoint of broadcast quality and content, I don't see any advantage of HD Radio over Satellite except for the lack of a subscription fee. Clear Channel will simply be able to narrowcast to smaller, more defined market segments. HD Radio makes perfect business sense for station owners and advertisers.

From and end-user's perspective, the advantage is not so clear.
