simply, it adds a few program streams to the broadcast by digitally
encoding and compressing (data-wise, not dynamically) them into the
unused bits of an AM/FM station's designated portion of spectrum.
this means that, instead of broadcasting one set of programs, a
station can broadcast two or three sets simultaneously.
Never mind the quality, feel the width!
Personally I think it is really sad that politicians feel some obligation to use radio/TV
spectrum to allow the largest amount of poor content to be broadcast rather than allowing
a smaller amount of good content to be broadcast with decent reproduction quality.
