You might not have noticed, but HD radio arrived in Wyoming in 2005 with 5 transmitters, and another 12 in 2006. This is especially good news for Sheridan, with 4 stations, and Wyoming Public Radio listeners with 14. A blog about this with lots of photos can be found at http://www.WyomingHDRadio/

I have actually heard the Wyoming HD sound, having a Boston Accoustics Receptor desk radio and a JVC KDHD R1 in the car. The car radio is useful in setting the nearly 8 second delay added to the analog transmitters so the audio will match. Don't get your time checks from Wyoming Public Radio, they will be a little late...

One neat thing about the HD radios is they display the originating transmitter call sign.

The HD installations have attracted a lot of attention in Wyoming, as can be seen by this eccletic group listening at KBUW Buffalo. One unique feature of HD is it can deliver additional audio programs. The first to have these will be KUWR, KUWC Casper and KUWJ Jackson.
