HD RADIO is no worse than DAB or DRM radio

Hybrid Digital Radio is somewhat similar to DRM. They share a lot of
the same characteristics including COFDM modulation and HE-AAC
compression. Also they are designed to sit side-by-side with current
AM/FM stations, and eventually replace them (pure digital).
No, they are not designed to eventually replace them.
Okay. Then how come both HD Radio and Digital Radio Mondiale include
modes for pure digital operation? (Occupying the space where analog
once sat.)
Answer:
They are *designed* (key word) to operate in a world where analog does
not exist. The engineers planned-ahead for that contingency, and
included pure digital modes. (Read the HD and DRM specs.)
