Does anyone know of a broadcaster who's turned off their AM HD since
nighttime operation started?


Here's an interesting thread:

"Can't hear you any more at night"

"The complaints are starting to come in from people about not being
able to hear the 50KW non directional clear I work for.. at night.
They appear to be 40 to 100 miles from Xmiter. This is not good. We
used to be heard in 37 states...Now we are lucky if it is 37 counties
at night. Many of these locations are in the total survey area. Hope
AM...at night..dies real soon!"

It amazes me how ****ing stupid broadcasters havre been for buying
into iBiquity's bull-**** - and to think, that broadcasters have put
total faith into this antiquated, destuctive technology to save
declining broadcast radio! Yea, we will buy enough crappy, expensive
HD radios that can't pick up ****, but when they do it is just ****,
to keep broadcasters (those of the HD Radio Cartel) afloat!
