HD2 radio in Spanish? Si! August 14, 2006 16:45 |
An article I ran across today reported that many stations are using their HD2 channels to broadcast Spanish language programming. These are primarily stations whose format is in English but who have launched HD2 multicast channels that broadcast Spanish programming almost exclusively . Cities that have a large Hispanic population have especially benefited from these new, let's call them HD Dos broadcasts. For example, there are now twelve frequencies broadcasting Hispanic formats where there were only three prior to HD Dos channels.
In a totally unrelated story, well okay it is about HD Radio, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has announced that it will kick off its Radio '06 Conference with a special seminar titled "HD Radio: All the Basics and More." The info-session will feature issues facing broadcasters who are planning their HD radio conversion or are already on-air in digital.
Me thinks the NAB wouldn't be kicking off its radio conference if it didn't think HD Radio is pretty darn important
