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


I don't. Why do you think they'd be turning it off now when they just
started night time AM HD broadcasts?


Maybe cause nobody is listening? Or, possibly interference
complaints? Makes sense to me.


Yeah, I'm puzzled at your question as well. If radio stations have
just started turning on HD why would they turn it back off again?
They won't have meaningful audience statistics to base a decision on
for several months.


There would be no audience statistics that showed whether night HD was good
or bad, just as there are none for daytime operation.- Hide quoted text -

d'Eduardo,

Since the vast majority of AM/MW Radio Listeners still have
Analog "Only" AM/MW Rados -and- Since Nightime IBOC
Broadcasting makes Analog "HD" Radio Painful to Listen to :
Expect the numbers of Nightime AM/MW Radio Listeners
to start Dropping as more and more AM/MW Radio Stations
begin IBOC Broadcasting at Night.

The Tombstone of AM/MW Radio does not read "RIP"
it reads "IBOC" ~ RHF

Once Again I Ask Myself : What IBOC ?
All I See Is The Blinking Blue Light ! ~ RHF
In That Distant Land* Where IBOC Fears To Go :
Life Exists and Radio Listeners Live Beyond the 10mv/m Contour.
