Default HD Radio shutdown in Wash, D.C! LMFAO!

Interesting to note that iBiquity is just outside of Washington DC (in
Columbia, MD). �One can imagine CEO Struble and COO Jury pulling their
hair out.

DC has the worst AMs, collectively, of any major US market. Not a one of
them covers the entire market with a viable signal, and this is in part why
that the whole band only has 6% of the radio listening... less than 3% under
age 50. AM HD is useless on bad signals in large metros.


If you read the article, FM-HDs have shut down, too!

"The FM list now includes 106.7 WJFK-FM (CBS Radio); 102.3 WWMJ-FM
(Radio One); 104.1 WPRS-FM (Radio One) and 107.7 WWWT-FM
(Bonneville)."

Nice try, Eduardo!
