This is nothing new, of course. What is, is that listeners are starting
to speak out about it. Salem, at least here, is listening, and has turned
off their IBOC generators not only to curb local QRM, but to protect
listeners of their own signal in Milwaukee, who were having more than a
little difficulty receiving the local due to the QRM from Chicago's
signal.

Actually, WIND had HD on when Salem traded it to Univsion Radio, and took it
off after the sale. Univision was very happy with the HD system.




Hello, David. Good to see you again. But to refine the point....WIND
had turned off the IBOC signal some considerable time after the
acquisition. And while Univision Radio was very happy with the HD
system, listeners of several stations, especially up here in Lake
County, were not. It was when the IBOC splatter objectionably intefered
with a co-owned signal in Milwaukee that they pulled the IBOC system.

IBOC doesn't just create objectionable interference for out of
market, or deep fringe listeners. Not every signal in this area has
uniform coverage in its ADI, and where signal levels flag, IBOC creates
quite the obstacle to quality listening.
