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.


me thinks, if these stations generated ratings or revenues they'd
still be on.
Either way it's really bad..so I wonder what market is next?
