Rich,

You didn't see this coming when they named it HD radio? They might 
have used CD radio - meaning Clear Digital - but some "genius" at
Ibq. apparently decided they could leverage on the efforts of the
TV community.

My only question is what definition of radio becomes "high" because
it is digital? Could it be the hype definition? Inquiring minds etc.
