Of course the secret writer is…..right! HD radio was a loser from the beginning. As someone who has owned and operated dozens of AM & FM radio stations over several decades, I assure you anytime you give one company a monopoly without free access to open systems, you’re doomed. HD and iBiquity is so Anti-American, it’s disgusting.
HD -AM Radio is a joke. Our local 50 KW 1-A Clear can’t transmit its HD more than 20 miles reliably. You can do better than that with a 3KW Class A FM! You’re not going to sell any advertising on HD-2 Channels that have automated and lame programming. Any station with a 2 share on the main, should not be concerned about their HD channels.
Ditch HD. Concentrate your engineering, programming & sales forces on your main channel and for gosh sakes, get analog AM back up to its 10Khz NRSC standard. What HD has done to analog AM is criminal!
