Northeast Leads in HD Radio Rollout

August 30, 2007

The HD Radio rollout is the most advanced in the northeastern region of the United States, according to a recent analysis by BIAfn. One reason for this lead is the significant number of large markets in this region.

Of the stations in that region, 13.8% are on the air with the digital radio format. The south-central states lag all other regions at 7.8% on the air.

The chart below displays the percentages of radio stations by region that are listed as HD Licensed and HD On Air.
