Re: [IRCA] U.S. automakers not jumping into HD Radio

[longwave@xxxxxxxxxxx]

96.9 runs traditional and contemporary Irish music on their second stream here in the Boston area.  It is the only second stream (IMHO) that is worthwhile from the 30 or so HD stations that I can hear (with my Sangand HDT-1) about 20 miles south of Boston.  Several stations are still not running a second stream and there a few others that are just running a parallel to their main signal.
