The allowable bandwidth of an AM or FM broadcast station is fixed and
has not changed in many decades. I received the "we are Hi Def"
announcements on a standard receiver. How is it that they are in any way
"higher def" than any other station?

If they are broadcasting in some other format in addition to standard,
then the announcements were deceptive.


I admit, though, that I have not paid attention to radio broadcasting
for a long time.
