Car companies won't adopt what buyers don't want, and radio stations are already feeling burned at spending $100,000-ish for the capability and getting no return on their investment.Andrew Oh-Willekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537151821869153861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-416816130035209862008-01-07T10:47:00.000-07:002008-01-07T10:47:00.000-07:00Andrew,You are confused as HD radio is not the nex...Andrew,<BR/><BR/>You are confused as HD radio is not the next 8-track.<BR/><BR/>1.

I also agree that U.S. broadcasters have done a lousy job of putting interesting content on HD2 channels.
