WHAT IS HD RADIO
BROADCASTING?
HIGH DEFINITION Digital Radio broadcasting is dramatically higher quality audio, far more programming choices and
compelling new wireless data services. No more static, hiss, pops or fades. Nearly 400 NPR member stations are in the process of upgrading to HD Radio technology and KVLU will be one of the first in Southeast Texas.
To upgrade your car radio, look for HD Radio products from Eclipse, JVC, Kenwood, Panasonic and Sanyo. Yamaha and Boston Acoustics offer home radios. Many more manufacturers are coming to market next year, including Alpine, Polk and Radiosophy.
HD RADIO TECHNOLOGY
INCLUDES:
- FM Multicasting – the ability to broadcast multiple
program streams over a single FM frequency
(e.g. 91.3-1, 91.3-2, and 91.3-3)
- Static-free, crystal-clear reception
- FM sounds as sensational as CDs
A variety of “data services,” including text-based
- information – artist name, song title, weather alerts, school closings, etc. scrolled across your receiver display.
- Digital broadcasts in the same frequencies as analog broadcasts; listeners do not need to learn a new station number and today’s stations remain at their current place on the dial.
HOW WILL KVLU PROGRAM HD CHANNELS?
Whatever your mood, KVLU HD will have a channel for you.
HD RADIO 1 - Regular Programming
HD RADIO 2 - All Classical and Jazz
HD RADIO 3 - Alternative, AAA, Folk, and Lamar
University student programming
Listeners must have HD receivers to hear HD Radio 2 and HD Radio 3. Those without HD receivers will still be
able to hear the original 91.3 signal on their current radios.
KVLU's conversion to digital radio was funded by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and by special
funding from Capital One Bank, The KVLU Enchancement Fund and Lamar University.
