[BC] HD Receivers

[Dana Puopolo]

Uhm...

Following that logic, there's already a bigger, shinier pipe called the
Internet.

HD radio is too little, too late. Ten years ago it might have had a chance,
but now it has already been eclipsed.

PS: Did you see that EMI is considering offering their entire catalog in (DRM
free) MPx? Yet another nail in the HD coffin....

Dave, think of it this way. HD represents a conduit to the masses. HD, 
in this case, is a large, highly polished tube or pipe made from the 
most expensive, resilient, and reliable metal to be found. Why, the sun 
shining on this conduit could put your eyes out, it's so pretty. Now, 
what do you send through the pipe? Entertaining and compelling content, 
or the same old crap that passes for programming these days? If the 
answer is the former, you may have a media revolution with lasting 
benefits, new listeners and advertisers. But if you send through the 
latter, (the same old crap) then all you have, in reality,  is a 
glorified sewage pipe spewing forth the same old garbage.
