IBOC continued to be off at WSBR 740, WHSR 980, and WWNN 1470, over the weekend and still today.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

It just occurred to me the reason I was hearing the 750 Wobbler from Cuba so clearly this afternoon. Local WSBR -- a Business Talk station which has been enjoying the improved high fidelity sound of IBOC, that all talk stations need -- turned off their hissing machine.
I even heard 730 WWTK "News-Talk 730 TK", Lake Placid, FL, for the very first time, as a happy result.
After a quick check, it appears WHSR 980 (Ethnic) and WWNN 1470 (Talk) both in Pompano Beach and sister stations of WSBR, have ditched their IBOC as well. These two are not quite so local but as near as I can tell IBOC is gone.
No idea why they've quit hissing on the band, but I hope it's permanent.
WQAM 560 -- another talker but unrelated to the above stations -- is still hissing all over Miami.
