Teri,
"HD" stands for high definition. It's a form of digital broadcasting which
is supposed to yield CD quality on FM, and near CD quality on AM. It's been
popular in Europe for the last several years, but is just getting started in
the U.S. You can tell when AM stations broadcast in HD because of the loud
rushing sound on either side of the station. On FM, there's no way of
telling unless you happen to have an HD receiver.
I almost forgot to mention the other advantage of HD radio: one station can
broadcast two or three streams of program content. I don't know whether
this means an improvement in programming quality, or just another way to
saturate us with more of the same old stuff. We'll just have to wait and
see.
Steve
