HD Radio is commercial radio's big gun when it comes to war against satellite radio, and today it was announced that Bonneville, Citadel, Clear Channel, Cumulus, Emmis, Entercom, Greater Media and Infinity will band together to form the new "HD Digital Radio Alliance" (cue Starwars music)
Together, this brave band of crusaders will battle the evil of satrad as one! They have agreed on HD Radio "standards" such as what to name multicasted stations ("HD-2") and how much money to spend against the cruel satellite radio empire ($200 Million). And they also have named a fearless leader: Peter Ferrara will be President/CEO of the Alliance.
