Re: [IRCA] WHO and iboc
Hi,
One more thing I would like to add is that if IBOC is so good, how come
WBBM 780 started simulcasting on 105.9 FM last year and in their station ID
they mention "Crystal clear on 105.9 FM".

That sounds like a good step in the right direction. I would also
like....
(snip)
These do not run IBOC in the Providence, RI area: WBZS-550, WPRO-630,
WPRV-790, WRNI-1290.
WHJJ-920 does run IBOC daytime, but never at night. Their antenna system
isn't broadband enough to run it on night pattern. It's the only one in
town that still uses IBOC. I do think that if it were to fail, they'd
never bother to repair it.
WBZS (Former WDDZ) also never ran it at night for the same reason. The
current owners don't use IBOC. I was the contract engineer for WDDZ and
there was never even one listener who contacted them about IBOC.
I never saw WPRV-790 run IBOC. WRNI also isn't inclined to use it, even
though it's installed.
As for upgrading audio to better quality? All but WRNI are talk, such as
news and business. WRNI is Hispanic and does have music. FWIW, the RI
Public Radio programming moved to WELH-88.1 FM. The Hispanic programming
now on WRNI was swapped from WELH on that change.
