Cumulus Commits to 80 Percent HD Conversion by 2012
I'm not sure of their previous target, but this equipment supplier relationships makes the current one clear: The Cumulus Broadcasting network will have 345 stations under management shortly, and said that they will use gear from Harris for HD Radio broadcasting. They said 80 percent of their stations, roughly 275, will broadcast digitally by 2012.
I wouldn't be surprised if targets like this move up rather quickly. The conversion cost per station is relatively low, and if HD Radio gets the uptake the industry hopes, there will be a lot of motivation to switch over faster.
