HD Radio may seem like the new kid on the block if you are not keeping up with what it going on in technology; however, HD Radio is fast becoming one of the top entertainment features in the United States. The reason being is that they offer more than 1,800 broadcasting stations as well as over 900 new local FM HD2 and HD3 channels.

HD Radio is similar to that of HD television and yes, you will need a brand new radio to enjoy the quality crisp sounds of the music and local stations you love. The good news is that with this HD Radio technology you will still be able to enjoy AM and FM radio stations (many of your favorites) which have now switched their broadcast to digital over analog.

HD Radio allows you so many more choices than you once had with analog radio including more channels, static free sound, and even iTunes tagging. HD radio can be found for all kinds of portable devices including the Microsoft Zune, your car, your home, and your boat. All you need to do is upgrade your radios and you will be ready to enjoy all kinds of programs and stations which include blues, children’s music, Christian, comedy, country, easy listening, folk, rap, gospel, jazz, Latin, oldies, pop, R&B, soul, top 40, reggae, rock, and classic rock, to name a few.

If you are wondering why HD Radio is so much better than the regular radio you listen to at the present time it is that the signal is received wirelessly. Not only will you enjoy a crisp clear station without any fading in and out while traveling but you will also be able to enjoy all the new stations that are being added every day.

As mentioned above, there are over 1,800 broadcasting stations as well as over 900 new local radio channels and HD2/HD3 channels across every state in the US. You will not have to hunt for your favorite station, as it will be in the same place as before, but with this new HD technology, you will receive more than just the program you normally enjoy. Other features include text information such as titles, artists, weather or traffic alerts that are broadcast directly to your receiver’s display screen. Along with this you will love the HD2/HD3 channels as they allow radio station to multicast, meaning the station offers more than one stream: audio as well as on screen data.

The possibilities are endless when radio stations can multicast as they can provide their listeners with their favorite music on one channel and on another provide the latest news, or even two different formats of music, or even provide stations in different languages.

The introduction of new radio programming, new local radio channels, and HD2/HD3 channels provides listeners with FM sounds that are so close to the sound of the favorite CD that they will be amazed as well as clear crisp AM stations that sound as wonderful as the analog FM stations.
