Re: [IRCA] U.S. automakers not jumping into HD Radio

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

If we are getting digital one way or the other as has been said, it is going 
to be forced upon us, it will not be the will of the people clamoring for it 
that's for sure, and I think even if it's forced upon us it will still be a 
dismal failure and may doom AM radio as many of us have been saying right 
along and just for that reason. But even here you cannot force people to buy 
something they don't want
Even Rat Shack only carries it at "select" stores and online as they said in 
the full of BS commercial I heard tonight coming home from work in my car. 
They are still insinuating that there are a lot of other "channels" which 
carry even Polkas!. That's quite a selling point, "We Think (and hope) 
There's a Sucker Born every Minute Polka" by Den of Iniquity is my favorite.
