Actually, the secondary HD stations are commercial free so far(aka 93.2-2, 93.2-3, etc). So Karl is totally right.

HD Radio is cool, but so far they really need to up the power of the signal as being more than 20 miles from the tower makes the station impossible to listen to with the digital cliff where an analog station might just have a little fuzz. I know there is talk to make the analog/digital power ratio 90/10 instead of 99/1 on the towers. It needs it bad.]]>Jul 12th 2009 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/12/insignia-ns-hd01-first-ever-portable-hd-radio-on-sale-at-best-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/12/insignia-ns-hd01-first-ever-portable-hd-radio-on-sale-at-best-b/One of the HD channels of one of my local stations is all stand-up comedy, all the time.

I do agree with you in terms of content. I don't listen to the radio for much beyond NPR.

I guess we're years and years from a possible transition to digital-only radio, so its really a non-issue, but radio provides public safety information for severe weather alerts and communications in disaster-struck areas, etc. ]]>Jul 12th 2009 1:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/12/insignia-ns-hd01-first-ever-portable-hd-radio-on-sale-at-best-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/12/insignia-ns-hd01-first-ever-portable-hd-radio-on-sale-at-best-b/Jul 12th 2009 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/12/insignia-ns-hd01-first-ever-portable-hd-radio-on-sale-at-best-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/12/insignia-ns-hd01-first-ever-portable-hd-radio-on-sale-at-best-b/

Especially in the SF Bay Area where there's too many f*cking Clear Channel stations and they keep changing stations to bullcrap (because they said "market research" says they should).

In fact, if KKSF was still playing jazz instead of "Classic Rock," then I would have been tempted but no....the thugs at CC thought that the area didn't have enough classic rock stations (there were 2-3 in place and KKSF was the only jazz station...clearly a monopoly wasn't good enough)]]>Jul 12th 2009 3:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/12/insignia-ns-hd01-first-ever-portable-hd-radio-on-sale-at-best-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/12/insignia-ns-hd01-first-ever-portable-hd-radio-on-sale-at-best-b/Jul 12th 2009 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/12/insignia-ns-hd01-first-ever-portable-hd-radio-on-sale-at-best-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/12/insignia-ns-hd01-first-ever-portable-hd-radio-on-sale-at-best-b/Jul 12th 2009 5:30AM
