I'm thinking of all the royalty fees rounding the corner when the next wave of music rights hit the fan.
Thanks in large part to the HiDef movement, wasting mega millions from the talent and marketing pool since turn of the century,placing free radio into the lower class of satellite radio as our talent and local content fell to the level of Viagra dependency.

So, Ford has finially given up on that fraud called HD Radio?
