Radio is being revolutionized to broadcast dramatically higher quality audio, far more programming choices and compelling new wireless data services, all FREE.

Who is Broadcasting the Revolution?

Today, thousands of free, local, over-the-air radio stations are upgrading their broadcast technology; hundreds are currently broadcasting with digital HD Radio™ channels.

What is the HD Radio Revolution?

• Crystal-clear audio on free, over-the-air local radio stations
• Wireless data enabling text information – titles, artists, weather or traffic alerts
• Multicasting, offering more than one stream.
• Digital broadcasts in the same frequencies as analog broadcasts; listeners do not need to learn a new station number and today’s stations remain at their current place on the dial
• Local content
• FREE

And this is just the beginning. New and innovative features are under development including:

• Real-time traffic reports broadcast by local stations and visually displayed on a vehicle’s navigation system
• Surround Sound
• Store-and-Replay – Will allow listeners to rewind a song they just heard or record an entire program to play back at a more convenient listening time
• On Demand Capabilities – Will give listeners instant access to news and information
• “Buy” button – Will turn the radio into an interactive device for e-commerce, allowing for instant purchases of everything from concert tickets to advertised products.

Who Licenses the HD Radio Revolution?

Approved by the Federal Communications Commission in October 2002 as the only system for digital AM and FM broadcasting in the US, HD Radio technology is developed and licensed by iBiquity Digital Corporation and supported by the leaders of the broadcasting, consumer electronics and automotive industries.
