What is HD Digital Radio?
HD Radio is the most significant advancement in radio broadcasting since the introduction of FM stereo more than 50 years ago. Using the latest in digital technology, FM stations are able to produce CD-quality sound and multicasting (see below on what multicasting is).
What are some of the other benefits of HD Radio?
HD Radio offers advanced new services, including scrolling text on receiver display screens (e.g. artist name and song titles) and multicasting - a feature that allows FM stations to broadcast multiple channels on the same frequency.
Can you further explain how multicasting works?
Multicasting let's you hear entirely different stations that aren't on the AM or FM dial. WQYK's sub-channel is HD Country (Heavy Duty).
How much does HD Radio cost?
Once you own an HD Radio receiver you can receive all of its benefits without having to pay additional fees. Which means that as HD Radio expands, you'll be able to hear two or three times as many radio stations for FREE, just like today's analog AM and FM radio.
Will HD Radio change how I hear my already favorite stations?
No. Even without an HD Radio receiver, you'll still be able to listen to your preferred music, news, sports and personality formatted stations.
