"Local ratings show that plenty of Pocono listeners tune in to AM 770.
But about two weeks ago, WABC radio became impossible to hear in the
Poconos after sundown. And although the daytime signal is still
strong, WABC it is not likely to he heard here in the dark again. What
happened. An advancement in broadcast technology. WABC flipped the
switch for HD Radio. Something many stations are doing with, so far,
little notice from the public."

Just like Edweenie, IBOC sucks.


Interesting that the daytime signal can be heard, but no nighttime
signal - anyway, I emailed the article to WABC, not that it matters...


Phil Boyce, PD of WABC, which just had the second highest book in the last 7
years, already said it did not matter.
