Senator introduces radio Bill

A US senator has introduced a Bill - The Radio All Digital Channel Receiver Act - that would require satellite and radio receiver manufacturers to include the ability to receive HD Radio signals in all receivers sold in the US, says THR.com.

As the US broadcast radio industry migrates to digital broadcasting technology, this legislation will ensure consumers are able to readily receive free service through consumer electronics systems that are otherwise receiving satellite digital audio radio and traditional AM or FM stations.

The Bill has the support of a bipartisan group of Energy and Commerce Committee House members.
