What is HD Radio Technology?
HD Radio Technology can deliver high-quality digital
sound—AM digital will have FM-li e quality (in stereo)
and FM digital will have CD-li e quality—with static-

receive conventional analog broadcasts.
• Many HD Radio stations also offer more than one
channel of programming. This service is called
multicasting.
• To find HD Radio stations in your area, visit
