CENSORED The Solution
+ + + = HD: WTF? • Based on IBOC (In Band On Channel) developed by USA Digital Radio Partners in 1991 • HD developed by iBiquity Digital Corp. (merger of USA and Lucent Digital Radio in 2000) • HD = Hybrid Digital/High Definition/pure BS
How Does It Work? • Same as regular radio, except a bundled signal (digital and analog) • Since digital, information can be transmitted along with audio • Digitally compressed for multicasting and enhanced services • Receivers sort through “bounced” signals therefore enhancing clarity
Why HD? Consumer P.O.V. FM = Quality AM = FM Quality Free:one time fee to get HD receiver More varied content available with the same local connection
Why HD? The Station P.O.V.(Straight from the Horses Mouth) Jeremy Whiting: Impact 89FM Program Director (pictured left with Ronald McDonald)
The Not-to-Distant Future • The “Buy” Button • Store-and-Replay technology • On Demand • Traffic reports displayed on navigation screen • Less commercials
