Cross Talk: Season Four, Episode Three

"On Ways of Listening: H-D Radio" from January 31, 2020.  HD -- High Definition Radio -- is one way AM radio in North American cities might reach listeners who cannot receive AM signals well depending on buildings and topography.  Not all broadcasters have added HD service to their FM carriers; and some who have...almost never tell listeners about it.  It's still virtually impossible to find a radio with HD capability in a store in Toronto.  Is HD worth the trouble and expense for a listener?  Listen:  hear how news/talk radio sounds on AM compared with HD; and how one AM music station sounds on AM, on FM and on HD. Makes fair dealing use of bits of audio from Newstalk 1010 CFRB Toronto and CFMZ AM740 Toronto.  For educational purposes. For a taste of what sports play-by-play sounds like in high-definition, please check Season 2, Episode 12.
