We’re proud to announce that the Federal Communications Commission has approved the power increase for HD Radio™ broadcasting!  This is especially good news for dance music radio.  The Dance Radio Network is marketing our syndication services not only to FM, but HD Radio stations across America.

The change permits stations to increase power by up to 6 decibels, which is a four-fold increase from where we are currently. Said in percentages, this allows for you to broadcast with up to 4% of the power of your existing analog signal (up from 1%), with the potential of up to 10% with further application to the FCC. This is great news for HD Radio and the radio industry in general.

A note from Ibiquity CEO, Bob Struble… “We are pleased with the FCC’s action today to allow FM HD Radio stations to increase their power. The FCC Order is another significant milestone in the rollout of HD Radio Technology. The Commission has worked closely with the radio broadcast industry on this item, and chose a prudent course for the power increase which met the needs and addressed the concerns of the key constituents. This is another fine example of successful collaboration between the government and the private sector, and it promises to further enhance the benefits of HD Radio Technology to all Americans.”
