Those numbers mean nothing to CBS, apparently.  After all, they don't 
own WTWK or, I'm guessing, any of the other 1070/1090 stations most 
affected by WTIC's digital crud.  One wonders, though, how they can 
justify WBZ clobbering co-owned KDKA night after night.  CBS has 
funded IBOC development since day one, and they seem determined to 
soldier on with it, in spite of its obvious flaws.
