[IRCA] WHP 580 IBOC

[Tom Dimeo <am@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes Patrick, WHP does use IBOC but only during the day when 
the station is nondirectional.  The program director told me 
it would be very expensive to modify the night time 
directional array for IBOC and I guess Clear Channel didn't 
think it was worth the cost.  If IBOC had become more popular 
the modifications might have been done.  I wonder if the 
station pays less for an IBOC license since it isn't on all 
the time.

It's just a guess, but the night time pattern might even have 
had to been modified to protect WMCA 570 and possibly even 
someone on 590.  Maybe Rene can comment on this.
