HD Radio broadcasting is a transformational technology that allows AM and FM stations to broadcast digital signals in tandem with their analog signals, providing broadcasters with a platform to offer multiple channels of programming on the same frequency (multicasting). HD Radio technology provides crystal-clear, CD-quality sound, services such as real-time weather and traffic updates, and scrolling text and graphics content. Over 1,200 U.S. stations are on the air, available to 80 percent of Americans, with more than 600 stations offering second multicasting channels.

"Now is the perfect time to discover and share the new programming and incredible fidelity of HD Radio broadcasting," said Rob Mainiero, general manager of Cambridge SoundWorks. "They say good things come in small packages and our new SoundWorks Radio 820HD is a perfect example."

"We are thrilled to have this new Cambridge SoundWorks radio as the latest addition to the rapidly growing HD Digital Radio family," said Peter Ferrara, president and CEO of the HD Digital Radio Alliance. "We are grateful to Cambridge SoundWorks for being a wonderful partner in our effort to help consumers discover and enjoy HD Digital Radio."
