Re: [IRCA] The beginning of the end - of IBOC

["Rene Tetro" <rene@xxxxxxxx>]

On another note.....
KYW here in Philly never turned on their IBOC at night, even though it's the
same pattern day and night, and the other CBS O&W, WPHT, is running there's
at night.  I wonder why?

Nighttime only. IBOC will remain on the AM stations during daylight hours.

There are really two Citadels right now - the "little Citadel" that was 
the original company, and the former ABC stations that came into the 
fold a few months ago. The interference issues have been with the former 
ABC stations - KGO, KABC, WLS, WABC, WJR, etc.

That we will. This is another step in the process...too soon to say if 
this is the beginning of something bigger or not. We'll see how it all 
plays out.
