"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."

It has destroyed WABC in upstate NY also.
I am about 70 miles north.

I think the best thing is to protest to the FCC about whole matter. As well
as writing your congressman and giving them a piece of your mind about the
destruction of the public airwaves by the HD Radio plotters. This is quite
intentional when you consider that they knew through testing and
experimentation what havoc it would cause. When you cannot listen to a night
time station 70 miles from you, you have problems especially at 50 kw such
as WABC.
