Eric According to the FCC's IBOC Notification Procedure, document DA-03-831 dated March 20, 2003, downloadable from the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/digital/index.html "An AM station with authority to operate between 6 a.m. and local sunrise (pre-sunrise hours) and between local sunset and 6 p.m. (post-sunset hours) may operate its hybrid IBOC system during those periods." It certainly appears that WBZ (and anyone else) is operating legally, if they shut off the IBOC at 6 pm. The same web page lists two contact names for questions on IBOC: Ann Gallagher agallagh@xxxxxxx and Charles Miller cnmiller@xxxxxxx Phone 202-418-2700 You might want to contact one of them for more details, so you can become better informed on the FCCs rules on IBOC.
