Default WABC's HD/IBOC destroying reception in the Poconos!

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


Wonder if he's changed his mind. Sunday night and Monday night, WABC
didn't have IBOC on.

It's been on during the day. Let's see what happens tonight.

I have little respect for Boyce. This man's theory of "nothing
outside weekday drivetime matters" has led this once great station to
become a clearinghouse for dull syndicated bird droppings (Laura
Ingraham comes to mind) and lots of infomercials during the weekend
and overnight hours.

This never happened under the previous PD, John Mainelli, who had
taken the station to 24 hours of live programming, the bulk of it
being local -- even on the weekends! During his tenure, AM 77 was the
#1 rated talk station in the entire COUNTRY. No small feat for an AM
station.
