When will you begin broadcasting in HD?
Thanks for your question regarding HD Radio, otherwise known as High
Definition Radio.
HD Radio's premise is that it greatly improves audio quality by digitizing
the station's analog audio signal and broadcasting it on the same
frequencies that we use for our existing stations. Further, HD offers the
capacity for a "second channel", a kind of extra radio
station-within-a-station upon which we could offer alternative programming.
The short answer to your question concerning our plans to begin offering HD
Radio is, "Not for a while."
Does DR Bob do his weather reports from his home? If so how does
the process work?
Yes, Dr. Bob originates his weathercasts from his home. His home is the
Cooperating Reporting Station for the National Weather Service. He is linked
to our studio via a special piece of equipment that digitizes audio and
transmits the resulting digital stream via an ISDN line.
ISDN stands for Integrated Services Digital Network and is a service
provided by the telephone company.
ISDN is a very common means of transmitting audio from remote locations.
I hope this answers your question.
Paul L. Gleiser
