WMIT and HD Radio

Facts about HD Radio

• HD (high-definition) radio improves 106.9 the Light WMIT’s signal quality to that of a CD.
  
  
• Broadcasting in HD allows us to have the very signal you’re hearing now; however, with an HD receiver, your radio senses the HD signal and will automatically switch to the improved CD-quality.
  
  
• Even more significant for the ministry: 106.9 the Light WMIT is able to split our signal into three or four or more individual channels without diminishing the main 106.9 the Light WMIT signal – think of a separate channel that’s for all-Bible teaching, one that’s for all-music, one for Spanish-speakers, etc. That’s like having three or four more radio stations to proclaim Christ where now there’s only one!
  
  
• HD reception for radio is expected to be the norm by 2010. Twelve-hundred stations have or are in the midst of upgrading to HD. Your gifts allow 106.9 the Light WMIT to stay ahead of the pack with the programs and music that SHOULD be ahead of all others: encouraging Christian music and Bible teaching!!!
  
  
• You may be familiar with HDTV. The FCC mandated that TV stations provide an HDTV signal by this year. While the FCC hasn’t yet released such a mandate for radio, it’s expected to do so.
  
  
• Some premium cars are offering HD radio receivers as an upgrade. The option will move to more mainstream models in 2006. Also next year: home HD receivers will enter the market.
  
  
• HD Radio^TM equipment is currently available through web-based retailers, such as: Boston Acoustics, Crutchfield, JVC, Kenwood, Panasonic, and Radiosophy.
