Re: [Swprograms] Radiosophy HD radio available for $99

I can tackle some of this...

As to "more BBC" it depends on where you live.

Some cities' public radio stations offer the World Service as a sub
channel (HD-2 or HD-3) 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Many stations aren't that extreme, but offer a "news/talk" programmed
sub channel that might be, say, 12 hours / day of the Beeb -- it seems
that a general pattern for BBCWS carriage might be (all times local):

12 midnight - 6 am (general BBC WS PRI stream carriage)
9 am - 10 am (Newshour)
3 pm - 4 pm (Newshour)
8 pm - midnight (general BBC WS PRI stream carriage)

The PRI website has a search utility where you can look for BBC
carriage by state.  Those that carry the World Service as HD offerings
will be listed as "WXXX-FM2" or "WXXX-FM3".

Visit http://www.pri.org.

The general buzz I hear is that HD on AM is a losing proposition.
Keep in mind that many folks under 30 have never tuned an AM radio
station in their life.  (and we wonder why they don't listen to SW?)

Check out the WOSU website (Columbus, OH) -- they have a letter sent
to listeners that describes why they are pretty much abandoning
efforts to uniquely serve listeners via their AM station.
