BMW was an early adopter of HD Radio technology and currently offers it as an option on all of its 2007 models. HD Radio provides digital broadcast of AM and FM radio that results in improved sound quality compared to traditional analog radio. It also allows stations to broadcast multiple streams of programming on different channels. While HD Radio is free like traditional radio, supported by advertising, some initial multicasting channels were commercial-free to encourage people to buy HD Radio receivers.

Slides for the presentation at Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2014 on the topic of Millennial Marketing.
Session Description:
Millennials buy “the experience”. They don’t purchase hiking boots; they buy the idea of protecting their feet on the trail, while staying dry, avoiding blisters and looking “cool". The outdoor lifestyle is about the feeling of the experience, but our marketing strategies don’t show it. This session will identify acquisition strategies focusing on content to attract and engage millennials.

Digital Radio: a cost effective approach to producing enhanced radio programmingNicolas Hans
The advent of Digital Radio is a challenge for radio programmers and production teams. Not only do digital platforms pave the way for program associated data such as main program service and station information services, they create new channels for distributing advanced application services which include multimedia functionalities. Scheduling play-lists and broadcasting programs for such an enhanced radio network require that production teams implement new types of digital content production workflows. This paper details these production challenges and offers possible solutions based on case studies of radio broadcasters that have been faced with similar issues for other digital radio broadcasting platforms.
Over 300 delegates attended Drive 2 Digital; including broadcasters, vehicle manufacturers, receiver manufacturers and retailers. The audience heard about digital radio progress in-cars, including Ford of Britain's announcement to make their aftermarket adapter available through 650 dealers and the IMI's launch of their accredited digital radio installer scheme.
Chaired by Nick Higham, the conference included the following highlights:
• The Broadcast Minister Ed Vaizey confirmed that Government would make a switchover announcement in 12 months time and hailed the great progress on coverage, content and cars.
• The outgoing BBC Director of Audio and Music Tim Davie addressed the conference giving an upbeat update on the success of the BBC digital stations which have all recorded audiences of over
1 million, including Olympics pop-up station BBC Radio 5 live Olympics Extra. Tim confirmed that BBC National DAB coverage has been extended to 94% and will be built out to 97% including all motorways and major roads.
• Anthony Ireson, Marketing Director at Ford of Britain announced that the majority of their new cars already come with digital radio as standard and that they are launching a behind the dashboard adaptor through their 650 dealers that would enable any Ford car to be converted to receive digital radio. Citroen also announced a digital adapter to be sold through their dealerships Ford and Citroen join Vauxhall , VW , BMW and Mini in doing so.
• Ford Ennals, CEO of Digital Radio UK launched the new industry wide campaign featuring digital radio evangelist D Love [see below]. D Love is a new character who will be spreading the love for digital radio and will be featured in a new campaign on BBC TV, BBC radio and commercial radio. The BBC TV trails introduce D Love from mid-November and will be followed a week later on radio. D Love was a big hit at Drive2Digital and has already gone viral and appeared on Radio 4's World at One.
• Sarah Sillars from the IMI launched a training and accreditation scheme for installers who fit digital radios. The scheme is open to any installer and the IMI is now able to approve accreditation centres who want to offer the scheme. For more info please visit the IMI website.
Digital TV in Thailand Engineering Journal of ThailandYOZZO
As Digital TV is getting ready to launch in Thailand, local and foreign set-top-box, television, mobile devices and in-car entertainment manufactures, are also ramping up their activities for the digital broadcasts.
Consumers buying pattern from markets who already have introduced DVB-T2 Set-Top Boxes or Televisions, shows a special buying pattern from consumers. The majority will wait to purchase to the last months before the analog signal is switched off, which leaves a huge gap between launch and shutdown that needs to be explored to keep momentum.
To address the huge gap, it is necessary to think “inside the box”, and focus on solutions that brings value added service in order to cater to more segments.

The air war for in-car listeners is spreading. As the satellite radio
stations fight for subscribers, and as more drivers cue up their iPods
with slick car-stereo interfaces, a new entrant has entered the drive-
time marketplace: HD Radio. As HD Radio promises superior sound
quality and subscription-free content, auto manufacturers like BMW
and Jaguar are perking their ears. Should you?
In simple terms, HD Radio is a digital technology for traditionally
broadcast FM and AM radio. HD receivers basically convert the signal
of AM and FM from analog to digital, thereby changing sound quality.
Proponents say HD-based AM sounds as good as analog FM stations
sound today, and that HD-based FM has near-CD quality fidelity.
Additionally, the compressed digital signal opens up the amount of
spectrum available to broadcasters, thus allowing single radio stations to broadcast separate content on multiple channels. Called “multicasting,”
this means single stations can offer more dedicated programming on several channels nearby on the dial. An example would be stations dedicating
new channels entirely to a certain genre of music. For instance, New York’s publicly funded radio station WNYC, which primarily offers news, talk
and music programming on its main channel, 93.9 FM, in 2006 began HD-broadcasting an all-classical music station on WNYC2, at 93.9-2 FM.
HD Radio is not subscription-based like satellite radio, so programming comes free. HD Radio is based on the same advertising-based business
model as traditional AM-FM (analog) radio. The HD Digital Radio Alliance, a consortium of the traditional major terrestrial radio broadcast
companies, persuaded members to initially offer commercial-free programming on the extra digital-only “HD2” channels they enable, to entice
listeners to purchase HD receivers. This commercial-free programming will eventually cease, though, some say, at the end of this year.
At press time, iBiquity Digital Corp., the creator of HD Radio technology, said there are more than 1,205 radio stations in the United States
currently broadcasting in HD, with more than 600 carrying HD2 multicast programming. According to the alliance, HD2 multicasts have launched
in 85 of the nation’s top 100 markets.
Interestingly, the “HD” in HD Radio actually has no meaning. It has come to stand for “High-Definition” in common usage, with an easy reference
to High-Definition Television, or HDTV. Although HD Radio uses “Hybrid Digital” technology, according to iBiquity, it does not stand for Hybrid
Digital, either.
How to hear HD — the gear
Automakers have been slow to commit to providing factory-installed in-car HD receivers. BMW was the first to officially announce an offering. The
Munich-based automaker announced in January it would offer factory-installed HD digital radio receivers as an option ($500) across all its 2007
models. Jaguar recently announced it would offer HD technology in its 2008 XJ Sedan, which will go on sale this fall. And Hyundai announced that
its new-for-2008 premium sedan, currently called the Concept Genesis, will offer the technology as well.
The number of manufacturers offering an HD option is expected to grow. “Nine manufacturers and 51 models of cars have committed to — but not
announced — implementing HD Radio over the next 18 to 24 months. HD will be in every vehicle in a fairly short period of time,” says Peter
Ferrara, president and CEO of HD Digital Radio Alliance.
In the meantime, several off-the-shelf options exist for those who desire to listen to an HD signal in their current car. Receivers range in price from
about $199 to $329.
Visteon is selling the plug-and-play HD Jump, which it calls the “only transportable HD Radio receiver available,” that can be used both in the car
and at home. HD Jump uses the vehicle’s existing radio antenna and connects either through an auxiliary input on the head unit or through an FM-
modulating wire. A car cradle mounts to the dash and front window; a home dock is also available with cradle, power adapter, remote control,
antennae and required cables. The Jump is expected to list between $249 and $299 (installed).
Dice Electronics is currently offering HD Dice, an external HD Radio modulator that can be connected to certain auto manufacturers’ factory-
