It just became moreso. Kudos Pioneer for standing up to disingenuous HD bullies and telling the truth. I'll choose Pioneer electronics whenever practicable, as small token of gratitude. How about you? The FCC is supposed to protect public airwaves from BigRadio predators and outfits like iNiquity. Wasn't it a tad misleading on their part when they approved HD and said 'let the marketplace decide'? How can the marketplace decide when public airwaves are flooded with HD jamming? How can the marketplace decide when AM HD stations thousands of miles apart and owned by the same companies jam one another at night? Let the marketplace decide? Isn't the 'HD' way of deciding a bit like the shopkeeper who succeeds in retail - by burning down his competitors? Why does BigRadio believe citizens who witnessed the the Rotten Crony 90s to be blind to Mob tactics?
