Here are some more information for Digital Radio:
If you're not familiar with HD Radio, it's the new digital technology that's being pushed by radio broadcasters as the next big thing and the savior of terrestrial radio.
The Good
First, the good news. HD Radio does sound better than standard radio. In fact, HD AM sounds almost as good as FM radio, and FM sounds almost as bright, clear and clean as if you were listening to a CD. And because HD is digital, broadcasters can crowd more signals into the same frequency. This allows them to broadcast different programming on what they're calling HD2 channels. For example, an oldies station could program tunes from the '70s and ''80s on its normal frequency, and classic rock from the '60s on its HD2 channel.
More good news is that fact that, depending on who you believe, there are now either 1,300 or 1,500 stations in the U.S. broadcasting HD Radio.
The difference? It's that he HD Radio Alliance claims there are 1,500 HD stations, but the FCC has only 1,300 licenses on file.
The Bad
While HD Radio may sound great and while there at least 1,300 stations broadcasting HD Radio, you can't hear it. That is, not unless you buy an HD radio. And HD radios tend to be expensive. There is only one, low cost, entry-level tabletop available, the Radiosophy HD100 at $99.95. The next step up is RadioShack's Accurian HD Radio, which usually sells for around $199 and a Sony unit at $199.95. After that, there is the Sangean HDR-1 with a manufacturer's suggested retail of $249 and then it's pretty much into the stratosphere of $300-plus.
Want HD radio in your car? The situation there is even worse. There are very few HD car radios available and the majority of them are just tuners and must be connected to your existing factory radio - a kludge of a solution at best.
The Ugly
The ugliest part of HD2 channels is that the programming -at least so far - is hardly good enough or innovative enough to warrant buying a HD radio.
What makes it ugly is that the broadcaster could be using HD2 channels to do something really creative as broadcasters have in Great Britain, where digital radio has just skyrocketed. Unfortunately, here in the U.S., most broadcasters have chosen to use their HD2 channels as just "variations on a theme," or variations of their normal programming (see rock station example, above).
So, what's the future of HD Radio? At this point, it doesn't seem bright, especially when you compare it to satellite and Internet radio. But as they used to say, "stay tuned for more" because, well, it could get better.
Douglas Hanna is the editor and publisher of the highly popular website, http://www.hd-radio-home.com, which he calls the Internet's number one site for fair and balanced HD radio news and information. He is a long-time radio listener and unabashed radio fan who has been following the ups and downs of HD Radio for more than two years.
Digital Radio: The New American Revolution
Americans are nothing if not selectively fickle. It took almost no persuasion for them to abandon their analog landline technology-based telephones, camera, and record players in favor of digitally based alternatives.
But when it comes to their listening pleasure, Americans have been fighting the digital revolution with as much gusto as they fought the American one. They are however, beginning to come around. Having spotty reception, or none, on long commutes or when in the back country on a recreational outing, or simply because they live in a particularly reception-unfriendly area has finally made many Americans start to take notice of their digital radio options.
The first digital radio alternative is satellite radio. Both Sirius and XM Satellite radio have eliminated the commercials from their digital radio transmissions and are beaming their broadcasts into the automobile receivers of millions of US drivers, no matter where they are located. The glitch is that the service is subscription only, and many older cars do not have the satellite digital radio receivers. And in some large urban areas, the reception is lacking, although Sirius and XM are working on fixes for their problems.
But between them Sirius and XM have still managed to collar only fifteen million of the estimated two hundred and thirty million AM/FM listeners in the US. The two companies have applied to the FCC for permission to discuss a merger, which will cut costs for both. But even a single entity may never move satellite digital radio beyond the niche stage.
The real up-and-comers in the US digital radio field appears to be local radio stations, both because they do not charge their listeners, and because the price of digital radio receivers is beginning to drop rapidly. At the beginning of 2006, a digital radio receiver cost a minimum of $500; now the most expensive are half that. With rebates it is frequently possible to find a digital radio receiver for under $100.
Hybrid digital radio is the result of combining digital power with the regular broadcasting of an AM or FM station. It costs a traditional broadcasting station upwards of $100,000 to make the transition to Hybrid Digital technology, and even then they have to pay royalties to iBiquity, which developed the process. But more than 1300 radio stations have either bought, or plan to buy, the necessary equipment.

how much it cost to start a digital radio channel?
I am thinking to start a radio channel in Melbourne. is it easy? how much it will cost? millions?
The hardest part is to find an open frequency. Most, if not all are really taken so you need to buy someone else's station. It may not be millions, but it is expensive.
