HD (high definition) is not just for television anymore. One local radio station is becoming the first in the U.P. to broadcast with a cleaner and clearer digital signal.

In addition to its regular analog signal, last month WNMU Public Radio 90 started broadcasting in digital HD. The new digital signal sorts out interference and limits static and hissing. It can also offer multiple programs running at the same time.

Most of the money for the project has been raised through grants and donations, but they still need $30,000 to finish the first phase.

GLADSTONE — Recently-passed House Bill 6456 will change how cable television operates in Michigan. The bill was passed by the state Legislature earlier this month and signed into law by Gov. Jennifer Granholm Thursday. The act goes into effect Monday.

The Uniform Video Services Local Franchise Act releases cable companies from franchising agreements arranged with local units of government. Instead, it allows interested companies to negotiate franchises with a statewide service.
