I have yet to understand the appeal of HD radio. Of course, I've had XM for the past 3-4 years, but still...what's the appeal of HD, I get better quality commericals?
The couple weeks here in Detroit when I was in a rental, I tried commercial radio again. Basically, this: in the morning, you don't get music on any local stations, it's all these "morning shows" (you know, the same show in your city, with different names). Plus, I listened to the popular morning show here and it's basically the same shtick as it was 6 years ago when I moved away. The one morning I timed 13 straight minutes of commercials. Ugh. So that's what made me a satellite radio convert. Definitely worth the $13/mo to me. That and my XM stations play wherever I go, where with HD I still have to find stations when I travel.
Plus I'm reading the rates drop should this merger go through, down to $6.95 for a basic package. I honestly don't know how anybody listens to commercial radio anymore. I don't think HD will do anything to slow the rush to satellite.
