As a subscriber to Sound & Vision I read about this near a year ago. ( I assume they have web info/back issues) In some markets the transition has begun. ---If you have the proper radio you get song info ect. like Sat. radio. As I understand;big buck cars come with,already.
AM/FM Analog Broadcast Future
Would like to know if anyone knows what's the future for
am/fm analog broadcasts. Last week I met a gentleman who owns an fm radio station, he told me that withing a few years they must broadcast their programing in a didgital format. That there will be a transition period where they
will send both, the analog and the digital signals. Unfortunately the conversation was interrupted and I couldn't ask him any further questions.
Does any one know when this is going to happen? How long will the FCC allow them to send both signals?
I do enjoy listening to fm radio, mostly programs by the National Public Radio that feature classical and jazz music. At the present my tunner is a Linn Kudos, was thinking of replacing it with a Linn Kremnlin (used) or a Magnun Dynalab. Would like to know more about this because either one of my tunner choises are in the 2K range and don't want to end up with a converstion piece in a few years. Thanks.
