Comments on: Will HD Radio ever catch on and become viable? http://voiceoversbywalt.com/blog/?p=5 The VoiceOvers by Walt Blog Mon, 24 May 2010 16:48:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: JD http://voiceoversbywalt.com/blog/?p=5&cpage=1#comment-5 JD Fri, 30 Apr 2010 21:11:48 +0000 http://voiceoversbywalt.com/blog/?p=5#comment-5 It might be local now, but they're testing synchronization that will allow them to link all their stations and run them as one giant signal. Headsup, clear channels might be coming back in the digital age :) Don't forget it's all about maximizing the $$. One program running on 100 stations is much cheaper than 100 studios at 100 stations.

Heartbreaking as it is, there is absolutely no way HD Radio is going to make it! 60 free local choices vs. millions of free choices online (albeit not local)?! It won't be too long before its ubiquitous in car like it is at work and at home. Unless the local HD stations are truly locally programmed (with personalities, local flavor, news, etc), why would I buy an HD Radio? If it's just a large variety of music I want, Pandora wins the day & rules the future. Walt- Enjoyed your take and first blog post.

At first, it seemed odd, like driving listeners to a web site did once upon a time, but it's catching on - here at least. Love the blog! Bookmarking it!
