What is HD FM?

[luvs2jam60]

HD FM is a new format for broadcasting local radio channels in high-res. Because of the differences in broadcasting that type of signal verses old stanndard FM, radio stations will be able (down the line of course) to broadcast a couple variations of their station on one simultaneous frequency, and also broadcast other data simultaneously, such as song title, artst, etc, as well as possibly local news, weather, and so on; however, the only drawback is that you need a receiver capable of receiving HDFM. I believe one just came out recently for home use, but you can get a number of aftermarket decks capable of decoding FM HD. I'm not sure, but I don't think any factory decks support the HD FM decoder just yet.

If you want some more info, I believe there was a thread a while back about this topic. If you can't find it, I'm sure googling it will come up with something.
