700 emissoras em HD!

«While the story on digital (HD) radio is still early, more and more terrestrial stations are upgrading their broadcasts. Just recently, HD radio technology provider iBiquity Digital counted its 700th compliant station, part of an early swell in the United States. "As a result of broadcasters converting stations at a pace of more than one per day, 6 in 10 Americans now have access to HD Radio broadcasts," commented Robert Struble, president and CEO of iBiquity. The updated tally includes stations across the AM and FM band, many of which have "multicasting," or "HD2" capabilities. iBiquity is the sole licensor of HD radio technology in the United States.» fonte: "Terrestrial Radio Industry Counts 700th HD Broadcaster"

Uma explicação para o (aparente) sucesso: «certainly the promise of new content moved the business news needle in a way that the promise of digital sound never did. That's also because the concept is easy for consumers and analysts to understand. "You can get new program channels in addition to your old ones, and all you need is to buy a new radio." Nothing particularly complicated about that».
