hdfan,
no offense taken. yes its true this will help in the long run. i just hope the hd stations adapt long playlists like the aor stations of the 70s-80s. i am so tired of the repetive fm radio format. and its a shame, for years all i listened to was the radio. till about 1997. its been all down hill since then. yesterday our local classic rocker played sweet child of mine 3 times!! 3!! and that was just what i found when airchecking. i heard it twice at work! i pulled the plug on the radio the last time. i would rather hear silence than that crap over and over again!
as for hd. i hope one of these stations in baton rouge adopts an aor station. if they do i will buy an hd portable and take it to work..
