Here’s yet another in the long series of pieces devoted to explaining all about HD radio to an audience that is so far turning a deaf ear.
And the fact that it’s from USA Today makes up for the damage done by this scorchingly nasty screed in a much smaller publication.
The nasty one is obviously the work of a radio-hater, but at least it’s a radio hater who does homework.
In the USA Today case, it’s a problem when an article begins by noting that the technology discussed has been around for five years.
And in the latter case, it’s a problem when a presumably neutral writer plainly hates everything radio stands for as well as the hundreds of millions of folks who listen daily.
The concept behind HD Radio: “He loves me, he loves me not” reflects the mixed reception of digital radio technology. Some listeners appreciate its improved sound quality and additional channels, while others remain uncertain due to signal inconsistencies and limited awareness. As the technology evolves, its adoption depends on reliability and user experience. Interestingly, industries like USA Digitizing also highlight how precision and clarity matter across different fields, showing that whether in audio or embroidery, quality and consistency always win audience trust.
