Radio's Digital Dilemma is the first comprehensive analysis of the
United States' digital radio transition, chronicling the
technological and policy development of the HD Radio broadcast
standard. A story laced with anxiety, ignorance, and hubris, the
evolution of HD Radio pitted the nation's largest commercial and
public broadcasters against the rest of the radio industry and the
listening public in a pitched battle over defining the digital
future of the medium. The Federal Communications Commission has
elected to put its faith in "marketplace forces" to govern radio's
digital transition, but this has not been a winning strategy: a
dozen years from its rollout, the state of HD Radio is one of
dangerous malaise, especially as newer digital audio distribution
technologies fundamentally redefine the public identity of "radio"
itself. Ultimately, Radio's Digital Dilemma is a cautionary tale
about the overarching influence of economics on contemporary media
policymaking, to the detriment of notions such as public ownership
and access to the airwaves-and a call for media scholars and
reformers to engage in the continuing struggle of radio's digital
transition in hopes of reclaiming these important principles.
