Columbia, Md. - HD Radio, a technology invented by iBiquity Digital that lets broadcasters transmit a digital signal alongside their analog signals, got a major boost on Monday when retail giant Wal-Mart said that it will begin selling HD digital radio receivers in nearly 2,000 of its stores in 85 markets.

Wal-Mart said that it will sell JVC mobile HD receivers, made for cars, for less than $190.

The roll-out will be supported by radio spots promoting the technology from a group of broadcasters supporting the technology known as the HD Digital Radio Alliance.
