In my area, for example, you can get WFAN (the NY sports talk station) in HD. it sounds MUCH better than comparable talk on satellite. As you might imagine, music on HD radio is great-sounding, too. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex Nunez]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 11:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ford offering HD Radio on all models]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[thanks..i never thought of them used together, didnt for a minute think of that.<br>me and my stupid old analog radio. its like records, i used to think who need cd's my LPs sound great until i heard a cd and was wow'd<br>one day i will get HD and say damn, should have got this sooner.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Menice]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 11:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ford offering HD Radio on all models]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[I feel the need to point out the obvious:<br><br>Headline: "Ford offering HD Radio on all models"<br>Excerpt from body: "...offering it in most Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models..."<br>And for the record:<br>Excerpt from press release: "Dealer-installed option available nationwide on nearly every 2008 model year Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicle"<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hooper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 11:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ford offering HD Radio on all models]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[If the stations are owned by ClearChannel, expect amazingly clearer versions of... the same tripe that currently clogs FM stations.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[flychinook]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 11:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ford offering HD Radio on all models]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[oh god I hate Clear Channel, they own most of the stations in the DFW market, including I believe the top 4...they also shut down one of my favorite stations and replaced it with adult alternative... :(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 12:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ford offering HD Radio on all models]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm always suprised by how long it takes auto makers to add technology like this into cars.

Maybe you guys should do some fact checking--for 2008 all of their models include HD radio as an option, and in 2007 nearly all of them offered it already. Plus with BMW it's factory installed for only $350. <br><br>Only problem with HD radio is that if you're in an area with a weak HD radio signal, it tries to switch to the regular frequency which can cause some skips while you listen. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SOhp101]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 11:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ford offering HD Radio on all models]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[Given the reasonable price for Ford's sync, i'm going to assume that they are not going to gouge the buyer for an HD radio. <br><br>IMHO i would rather HD over satellite. I really don't like having to pay a monthly fee for things. nine time out of ten i'm listening to my ipod, but on that other 10% of the time, i sure wouldn't mind some HD. Also here in the Philly area, HD is pretty comprehensive in its offerings. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 11:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ford offering HD Radio on all models]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</guid><description><![CDATA["...i'm going to assume that they are not going to gouge the buyer for an HD radio."<br><br>HD Radio will be a dealer-installed accessory, not a factory-installed option, so your assumption isn't a good one.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hooper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 8:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ford offering HD Radio on all models]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[NPR and C-Span are doing a lot with the HD-2 and HD-3 channels, with more programming choices, etc.  Unfortunately the more channels, the more compressed they are.  <br><br>ClearChannel HD-2 stations are mostly a shuffling of the main channel, but for now they run commercial free.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fabian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 12:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ford offering HD Radio on all models]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[HD Radio + Free = Crappy programming and too many commercials.<br><br>The reasons I switched to satellite were better programming and no commercials. I was tired of driving to work and hearing 2 songs over 30 minutes. FM radio is driven by marketing, not content. They play the same songs over and over and over. Where is the variety? Sound quality was irrelevant in my decision to switch. I'm in my car. I'm not expecting perfect quality. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Daniel Hammerberg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 12:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ford offering HD Radio on all models]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/ford-offering-hd-radio-on-all-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well my XM sure has commercials.
