From RWOnline:


IBOC Pulled From FCC Agenda for Now

For a while there it looked like we'd get some decisions at last on
various important aspects of digital radio in the United States. But
the FCC pulled the final authorization for IBOC off its agenda Thursday
morning.


HD _IS_ authorized. FM can go HD with just a letter. AM can go HD daytime
with just a letter. FM can add a second or even third HD channel with a
letter that gets and automatic STA. The only thing not authorized is night
operation on AM, which is not a very big deal anyway.

A spokesman told RW Online, "It isn't done."

Stations will have to wait longer for easier notification procedures
when they fire up their digital transmitters or decide to multicast.


Easier? All it takes is sending a letter now. How much easier can you make
it? No notification at all...like FM stereo???

There was no indication of when commissioners might finalize the item,
which was expected to include a provision for multicasting, so stations
would no longer need an STA to split their digital signals, as well as
a strategy to handle AM nighttime authorization.


Per Inside Radio, the subject was felt to be more extensive than can be delt
with in a general meeting, so they are going to call one just for HD.

Hey, David Eduardo - lick my balls ! IBOC is dying ! Go find yourself
a new job !


HuH? My job, today, does not depend on HD. It may in a number of years,
though... as will every job in radio.

You need to take a drink or a pill or a toke or something.


Take your meds, Frackelton.
