Bob - HD Polka channels? Do HD hawkers remind you of carnival barkers? They'll yell anything to see what sticks, similar to cheaszy lawyers. HD thugs blat about 'paid reading channels for the blind'. Why would the 'blind' need HD reading channels with all the books on cassette and CD, not

96.9 runs traditional and contemporary Irish music on their second stream here in the Boston area. It is the only second stream (IMHO) that is worthwhile from the 30 or so HD stations that I can hear (with my Sangand HDT-1) about 20 miles south of Boston. Several stations are still not

Theres an HD Channel in Boston.. that runs Irish. Given the audience for Irish music in Boston, that actually makes sense. There are some very long-running (and profitable) Irish programs, such as on 950 (Boston) and 1460 (Brockton). Craig Healy Providence, RI

Bill - Thanks. More good news - for us. Boo hoo for Team JamBLOC. Why didn't Detroit 'jump on' this exciting new HD multi-channel technology? Detroit has in past shown lack of vision. Chrysler blew it back in '76, with its Lean Burn engine, controlled by computer chips, rather than

http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/printarticle.aspx?feed=OBRdate=20070426id=6807502 I don't think there are too many American carmakers jumping on this. It's a fairly expensive proposition to put that technology in a vehicle and there's no certainty around the revenues associated with it, said

Not so fast! Visited Souk Q'Wahleed twice last week. Many will recall its 'the people demand HD radio and we will carry it' promo. Not one HD radio to be found anywhere in the store. To me, this proves the demand far exceeds supply. Vlad-Mart can't keep 'em in stock, that's why you can't

The future is full of surprises. Yeah, we're getting digital. So what? Will anyone buy? I won't. Who needs to listen to liars? I might be mistaken, but since this hog-glue piggy-back jammer was approved back in '96, one or two alternate info-tainment gadgets might have hit the market.
