[BC] DRM broadcasting to begin in USA

[R A Meuser]

DRM receivers are hitting the marketplace more slowly and in less volume 
than IBOC receivers. In many places where DAB has been available for 
quite a long time, those receivers are not easily found either. The fact 
is that the average person is not purchasing digital radio receivers 
regardless of the flavor. Digital transmission in general can be very 
beneficial to the broadcaster. The trick is to find something to 
motivate consumers.
