What is HD Radio Technology?

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

When the HD Radio tuner box is connected, it can also receive conventional analog broadcasts.

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