"They¹re turning off HD in Washington, DC"

"Well, this time it¹s not an anomaly or a digital exciter glitch‹at
least not that we can see. For weeks now the Washington, DC market has
been turning off its HD Radio signals en masse. There is no longer any
station in the market on AM broadcasting in HD."

"CC Radio¹s Format Lab gone?"
November 2008

"Really, the next round of budget cuts--out of necessity--is likely
going to be HD Radio equipment and licensing renewals. It has cost
broadcasters money that so far has not generated ROI. This CC Radio
news above, along with the rumors that Citadel has told Engineering
not to fix any broken HD transmitters on AM, may be the tip of the
iceberg."
