WBZ-1030 had their IBOC signal out of sync with the analog for a long time.
When it switched back and forth it was unlistenable.  They didn't delay the
analog to sync with the digital until they had a separate feed available for
the traffic and news people.

I'm sure the one or two people who were listening to WBZ-HD found that
disconcerting.
