HD Radio (HD/IBOC) is DOA

"HD Radio on the Offense"

"But after an investigation of HD Radio units, the stations playing
HD, and the company that owns the technology; and some interviews with
the wonks in DC, it looks like HD Radio is a high-level corporate
scam, a huge carny shill."

"Bridge Ratings: Sweat the cell phone and don't count on HD"

"In other words, Bridge says interest in HD radio is decreasing even
as your station works hard to increase awareness. What can I possibly
add to this honest and bleak picture that I haven't said before? My
well-intended warnings about HD's "premature death" seem to be rearing
their ugly heads almost two years later."

"But is 'availability' of HD radios the problem?"

"And one broadcaster reported to me that he asked an iBiquity rep how
many HD radios had actually been sold as of the most recent
accounting. And this was his answer: 150,000."

"RW Opinion: Rethinking AM's future"

"Making AM-HD work well as a long-term investment is seen as an
expensive and risky challenge for most stations and their owners.
There is the significant downside of potential new interference to
some of their own AM analog listeners as well as listeners of adjacent-
channel stations."
