What It Is
• HD Radio Technology is your local AM and FM
(1)
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
What HD Radio Technology Is Not
• HD Radio is not satellite radio or "high-definition" radio
• HD Radio signals are local programming and have
signal strength limitations
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
• The digital signal is compressed, and when received
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
• Because the signal is digital, sound quality is
significantly superior to traditional radio, virtually
eliminating buzzing, static and popping
