What It Is
HD Radio
(1)
Technology is your local AM and FM stations,
now broadcasting in digital. It offers new extra local FM
channels, crystal-clear sound, more music, news and
sports — all subscription free. Nearly 2,000 AM and FM
stations across the nation currently broadcast with HD
Radio Technology. Visit www.hdradio.com to learn more.
HowItWorks
HD Radio Technology products work the same way as
conventional radio, with a signal broadcast by a station
and received by consumers in a specific area. However,
instead of sending one analog signal, HD Radio
stations send a bundled signal made up of both analog
and digital signals.

by an HD Radio receiver, the signal is decoded into as
many as three separate channels, each with unique
programming, including additional or alternative
format music, news, traffic and sports

significantly superior to traditional radio, virtually
eliminating buzzing, static and popping
