HD Radio Broadcasting Around the World
HD Radio Technology is being tested and adopted in more than a dozen countries throughout the world, due in large part to its ability to deliver digital quality sound and services while making greater use of the existing analog spectrum. There are more stations broadcasting today with HD Radio Technology around the world than DAB or DRM, and over 300,000 hours of HD Radio broadcasts are transmitted each week.
Initial stages of HD Radio testing and conversion began in the United States in 2003 but the benefits of HD Radio Technology have resulted in significant interest from broadcasters worldwide. Brazil, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, the Philippines and Switzerland have begun regional operation, and Indonesia, Romania, Ukraine and Thailand have trail operations. Field testing is completed or in process in countries including Canada, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Germany, New Zealand and Poland.
