Hello,

I know that in the past SCA radio carried of "book reading" for the
visually impaired and Muzak. But I just recently came across some
posts in the newsgroup archives saying that SCA stopped broadcasting
Muzak.
If this is so what else is available on SCA? And is Muzak available
over the airwaves some place else?

Thanks in advance.

Here in Detroit, there are 4 non-data SCA services that I've
monitored.

1) 88.7 -- 92 kHz subcarrier -- 70's pop music continuous
2) 98.7 -- 67 kHz subcarrier -- elevator "muzak"
3) 101.9 -- 67 kHz subcarrier -- reading for the blind
4) 101.1 -- 67 kHz subcarrier -- studio to remote broadcast link (for
live broadcasts -- this link allows a DJ in the studio to have a
private communications channel with a remote DJ.

Other cities have similar services I'm sure.


I actually have an SCA radio-I saw it at a thrift store. It's a cheap
Chinese radio labeled "Success" and has 0-10 SCA scale alongside 88-108
Mhz FM. I couldn't recieve anything on SCA mode, and I'm in a medium
sized city (about 1.5 million people total, including suburbs).
