HD signal has less of a reach according to Corporation for Public Broadcasting
June 13, 2006
Besides the high cost of HD radio hardware, low consumer awareness, questionable content quality...now we hear that coverage is not that great, and interferes with AM/FM radio signals! is HD really a threat, or will it actually drive listeners to satellite?
Orbitcast (
www.orbitcast.com) posted this interesting piece on HD Radio's coverage (or lack thereof):
Corporation for Public Broadcasting: HD Radio Coverage Investigation
"Following yesterday's article on
HD Radio's Dirty Little Secret, a reader
found this RFP (PDF) by the Corporation for Public Broadcast (CPB) to investigate reported problems in HD Radio's coverage. The reports indicate that the HD Radio signal not only has less of a reach, but also interferes with the regular analog AM/FM radio signal.Terrestrial radio's biggest advantage is their reach. Everyone has an AM/FM radio, and nearly everyone can get signal for free. Take away that, and you've got a serious problem. "
