[BC] HD Radio Station Statistics

[Michael Bergman]

>>> There is a list of markets with

>>> 931 are licensed.

>> 931 isn't encouraging at this stage of the game. I'm sure many

>> $25,000, just in case.

> Today's stations count from the iBiquity website is 591 stations

The numbers in the article (931 licensed and 24 multicast) pin down the
research to between 9/1 and 9/14.
