They do, in markets where they are simulcast on translators.  I don't
think I've heard of any market where HD receiver penetration is
sufficient to get multicasts in the book on their own right -- the two
markets where I'd bet on it happening first are Washington (home of
iBiquity) and Los Angeles.
