Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?

Qdrone...is that Kdes? What time on Fridays(west coast time)?

Phasecorrect, what do you mean when you write, "... stations are using hybrid digital-analogue signals in FM mode?" If we are talking about radio in the US, standard FM audio is analog although, of course, it may have been digitally processed.

If you're talking about iboc "HD" radio, that's purely digital. It's licensed by iBiquity, which says "HD" doesn't stand for high definition, hybrid digital or anything else.

HD radio technology is pretty much a dead-on-arrival technology in the US.

To listen to music/artists you know nothing about and its free. I do not have to have my phone, tablet or other item using up Data.
