What is HD Radio™ broadcasting?

HD Radio stations can deliver high-quality digital sound—AM digital will have FM-like sound quality (in stereo) and FM digital will have CD-like sound quality— with static-free and clear reception. Furthermore, stations can offer text and data, such as artist names and song titles.

•HD Radio tuners can also tune in to conventional analog broadcasts.

•Many HD Radio stations offer more than one channel of programming. This service is called multicasting.
