About HD Radio Stations

HD Radio stations broadcast on the same AM and FM frequencies they’ve always used, and you can receive them by tuning into your favorite station as normal (see pages 19, 20). If the current AM or FM station supports HD Radio technology, the HD Radio indicator lights up. When an HD Radio transmission is received, a box appears around the HD Radio indicator, and “HD” appears in the right corner of the message area.
