No chance of a settlement, methinks.  CBS has no incentive to change 
their ways, since the FCC has chosen to ignore WYSL's complaint, 
despite being presented with extensive documentation of the 
interference problems.  So much for their claim in their IBOC Report 
& Order that they would deal with interference issues in a timely 
manner.

As others have said, WBZ is apparently on their backup rig.  In 
addition to the absence of IBOC, it's interesting to note that they 
have been significantly off-frequency - about 16 Hz high.  Things 
will no doubt be back to normal (including adjacent channel jamming) 
soon.
