Default Eduardo - FM-HDs in Wash, D.C also have turned off IBOC

"They’re turning off HD in Washington, DC"

"Well, this time it’s 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. ESPN Deportes Radio/
Red Zebra’s 730 WXTR-AM long ago shut off the signal. But now that
list includes 630 WMAL (Citadel); 570 WTNT (Clear Channel); Red
Zebra’s 980 ESPN Radio; and 1500 WFED-AM (Bonneville). 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)... The most likely
culprit is licensing fees."

Any spin, Eduardo? Think this isn't happening elsewhere!
