What the heck is
HD Radio? Simply put, it could very well be
the greatest technological leap for AM and
FM radio stations since the invention of Stereo.
With HD Radio, licensed and developed in the
U.S. by iBiquity Digital Corp., AM radio stations
sound like FM radio stations. Concurrently,
FM radio stations sound so crystal-clear it's
like listening to a CD on your favorite playback
device. Stations now broadcasting in HD number
in the hundreds and can be viewed by clicking
HERE.
Crystal-clear reception isn't
the only benefit of HD: There's been an explosion
of HD2 and even HD3 multichannel offerings
since the start of 2006. What is a "multicast"?
Simply put, HD2 and HD3 radio stations share
the frequency of a station's primary, or "HD1,"
signal. For example, if the owner of a HD
Radio receiver tunes to WHTZ (Z100)/New York
at 100.3 FM, Z100's main programming is shown
as 100.3 HD-1. With one switch of the tuner,
Z100's "New CHR" channel, at 100.3
HD-2, can be heard. All that's required is
an HD Radio receiver with multichannel capabilities.
Access to HD2 and HD3 multicasts doesn't involve
a subscription, either.
Where are HD2 and HD3
stations on the air? All over America. As
a service to all radio listeners and to the
radio industry, R&R has
compiled a list of all radio stations currently
offering HD2 and, in some cases, HD3 programming.
Markets are shown in alphabetical order. At
left is the station call letters, followed
by its owner and its principal dial position.
In the fourth column is the format of the
station's HD2 offering, with a link to the
audio stream if available. Stations and listeners
are always welcome to send updates to ajacobson@radioandrecords.com.
