I probably should be interested in HD Radio because it's a way for me to get
programming that isn't available in this market. For example, WDAF-FM now
has an HD feed of smooth jazz. But I can listen to Internet smooth jazz
stations for free on my PC and my cell phone. If my car radio had Bluetooth,
then I could stream those stations to my phone and then on to my car radio.
So in my case, HD doesn't give me much that I can't already get via the
Internet.
