We have been hearing about current radio stations offering broadcasts in High definition, and this will also allow more channels and better quality. This traditional radios attempt to combat the move to satellite radio by consumers. So now we will be asked to invest in new stereo systems, and car radios to benefit from these digital signals. To find some great information on the new Digital Radio and the equipment you will need you check it out the latest offering in your local market.
The new radios are being called Digital Audio Broadcasting or DAB. These new radios are able to receive the new digital signals that will be sent from radio stations. They will offer better sound quality, easier to find stations, and more stations. You will start to see them go on sale within the next few months as the competition heats up and more radios enter the market. These newer units like the Jensen JIMS-525 you will have connectivity between your iPod and be able to hear HD radio in brilliant sound. Some of the more advanced models offered by Jensen will be able to tag your songs digitally so that when you here a song you like you will be able to tag it and then buy that sing for your iPod. You will see an expansion in niche radio programming similar to what is offered in satellite radio. If this catches on, satellite providers such as Sirius may regret the $500 million investment they made for the “King of All Media” Howard Stern. The same rules of the FCC will still apply so those looking for the unedited radio of Stern or the O & A show, will still need to subscribe to their satellite radios. For the majority of Americans, they will probably wait for the equipment to come down, and more competitors come into the marketplace to increase competition.
