HD Radio Is Coming

I am getting a digital radio installed in my car in the next month. I can't wait to get the improved sound quality that this reporter from USA Today describes.

Is there a list of which stations are HD in NY anywhere?

I don't see what all the fuss is about HD Radio -- if all you get is improved sound quality. Who cares, if this means that all you'll get is clearer ClearChannel and louder Limbaugh?

Far, far more important to me is a vastly larger number of stations. I want CHOICE. I want to hear indie superstar DJs mixing tunes from their Macs at home. I want to tune in to live lectures and speeches. I want to hear sports programs. I want eclectic genres of music represented. I want lots of local flavor. I want public affairs programs discussing every issue under the sun.

Give me HC Radio (High Choice) before HD Radio any day.

This is an old comment, but I thought I'd respond anyway.

Brian,

As a huge music fan and indie musician, I think HD Radio could be great for indie music, because it simplifies 'microniche' broadcasting. I'm hoping that the ability to have multiple radio stations hosted on a single bandwidth will encourage behemoths like Clear Channel to expand their playlists beyond mainstream crap and try dipping into less popular content. Clear Channel has already lost a ton of 'listenorship' since 2001, and is experimenting with Indie Radio, currently.

We'll see. Satellite Radio is already _WAY_ beyond CC in terms of experimenting with niche playlists. True audiophiles are switching in droves.
