Why is Minnesota Public Radio investing in HD Radio technology?
Minnesota Public Radio constantly seeks to improve its service to listeners and is updating its technology offerings in order to do so. HD Radios allow listeners to enjoy broadcasts with the highest quality sound and without static or interference in areas of marginal signal quality. In addition, HD radio technology will allow Minnesota Public Radio to broadcast multiple programs over the same frequency. For listeners, that will mean more options for music, entertainment and news programming from Minnesota Public Radio. Minnesota Public Radio is constantly looking for opportunities to create meaningful, engaging public service programming for our audiences. HD Radio® multicasting provides us the opportunity to experiment, expand and diversify our offerings to our listeners, particularly as we offer new content such as The Current’s Wonderground Radio® and provide the BBC News and More and Radio Heartland.
