HD Radio is a new technology that enables AM and FM radio stations to broadcast their programs digitally, a tremendous technological leap from today's familiar analog broadcasts. These digital broadcasts provide listeners with radically improved audio quality and reception
and new data services. Signal fading, static, hisses and pops are a thing of the past.
Data services, weather and traffic alerts and much more will revolutionize the way you experience AM and FM radio. And it's all FREE for consumers, just like today's analog AM and FM radio.
KFWB's 5,000 watt HD Radio signal provides FM-quality stereo sound to HD Radio receivers all over Southern California. Look for the "HD Radio" logo on the radio (shown above).
Boston Acoustics has a tabletop HD Radio called the "Receptor Radio HD" (right). Aftermarket autosound HD Radios are available from Kenwood, Panasonic, Alpine, Fujitsu, JVC and Sanyo. High-end systems with HD Radio reception include those from Yamaha, Rotel and Day-Sequerra. Retailers of HD Radio receivers include Ken Crane's stores, Radio Shack stores and online, Tweeter in Costa Mesa and Amazon.com online.
The improvement in AM sound quality is breathtaking. Current analog AM radios filter out much of the brightness to reduce the effects of analog interference. With digital HD Radio, the sound is full and clear. On scene reports sound like you are there with the reporters. And there is no interference.
HD Radio on KFWB is digital, local radio that provides you high quality breaking news, traffic, weather and sports reports focused on Southern California.
For over 80 years KFWB has been a constant and dependable companion to Southern Californians and in this new century its new digital platform, HD Radio, will only strengthen this bond. KFWB HD Radio is free; there are no subscription or other fees. Just as it has always been.
