Some Questions and Answers about HD Radio
What is HD Radio?
HD Radio technology enables AM and FM radio stations to broadcast their programs digitally. This technology does for radio what high definition does for TV – it makes it crystal-clear, bright, clean, and interference-free. HD Radio is a trademark name for iBiquity's in-band on-channel digital radio technology. Learn more at www.hdradios.com.
What are you doing for classical music listeners who cannot get the HD-2 Classical Music Service?
We’re working on converting our low-power translators in Paducah and Madisonville to air classical music. We’ve made listening to classical music at wkms.org easier with a one-click pop-up player. Additionally, New Wave Communications has agreed to air our classical music service on cable channels 19 in Murray and 22 in Hopkinsville.
What are you doing about making HD radios more available?
The Murray State University Bookstore has agreed to stock several desktop models in their Curris Center location. We’re encouraging listeners like you to ask retailers to carry HD receivers in your community. A great deal of information about HD radio models is at www.hdradios.com. Google HD radios for online shopping options. Also, check these company web sites: Radio Shack, Radiosophy, Sangeon, Accurian, iLuv, Sony, Cambridge Soundworks, JVC, Panasonic, Kenwood, Sanyo, Alpine, Eclipse.
Isn’t HD dead on arrival? Why is WKMS getting involved with it?
According to a recent article in the New York Times 2000 radio stations are now broadcasting in HD, 70 car models are available with built-in receivers at a time when Sirius-XM, the ailing satellite radio company, narrowly escaped having to file for bankruptcy. Unlike Satellite radio which requires a monthly subscription, HD radio transmission is free. So why do so few people know about it? One reason, according to David Pogue, is confusion. “It took years for the public to grasp satellite radio — and now we’re trying to sell people on yet another kind of radio.” Those and other start-up issues, notwithstanding, we believe HD Radio is a growth medium and has much potential for rural stations such as WKMS.
