[Swprograms] slightly ot: Public Radio approaches to HD radio

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

See http://www.current.org/tech/tech0717fmmulticast.shtml

Interesting quote:

" In a Bridge Ratings survey released Aug. 8, just 13 percent of 3,179
people surveyed could identify a feature of HD Radio. Only 7 percent
of respondents said they were "very" or "somewhat interested" in
owning an HD radio, a smaller percentage than in a similar study in
January. Less than 1 percent of those polled had checked out an HD
receiver at a retail outlet.

"Bridge lowered its forecast for sales of HD receivers and predicted
that even by 2020, far fewer people will listen to HD receivers than
to terrestrial or Internet radio."

And we think DRM has a chance on shortwave?
