This article from the Nov.5, 2012 "Current" discusses public radio's involvement with iBiquity to some extent.  NPR paid for HD Radio equipment for its member stations--and its installation. One of their major reasons was HD Radio's "multicasting" capability on FM (the ability to transmit more than one program stream at a time)--the vast majority of NPR stations are FM. If we can multicast, we would need to purchase more programming, right? But as the article makes clear, NPR is acutely aware that HD Radio continues to be a non-starter... for what that's worth.
