There is more to be considered, such as interference and programming costs, but getting the signal (whether it is radio-audio or potentially lucrative data) to listeners is fundamental. There are valid arguments on both sides of the HD Radio power issue. Any station owner who sits on the sidelines during this discussion is not acting in his/her own self-interest, as every station, whether currently HD or not, is a stakeholder its consequences. We need to be clear about what we want and expeditiously (say, half the time of the Democratic Party presidential nominating process) and then push the FCC to approve it. This could be the go/no-go (or as some suggest, do-or-die) decision for HD Radio in the US. http://www.rbr.com/features/intel_briefs/hd_radio_signal_bealor_cavell.html 2008-06-03T03:13:31-05:00 2008-06-03T03:13:31-05:00 Bob Young Increasing the digital content of the hybrid digital signal will also greatly increase the co-channel interference which is already beginning on FM, it is legion an AM with many in the industry think that it is being used by the big AM stations to force off the smaller competition by jamming their signals. Will this also happen if the big FM stations are given this increase?

After three years, there is almost zero consumer interest in HD Radio, so what is the point in wasting more precious resources on this lead-balloon:http://hdradiofarce.blogspot.com
