Default Been listening to KDKA AM radio in digital

Been listening to KDKA AM radio in digital. What a crappy signal. It
switches back and forth from digital to analog and during the
transition the receiver makes this screech noise that sounds like the
receiver isn’t resolving the digital signal correctly. When in full
digital the high frequencies are so dirty sounding, I guess due to the
slow bit rate, that I have to ask myself, what’s the point? When it
goes back to analog the signal cleans up and sounds great. Tell me
again why would anyone want this?


Is CBS really trashing itself or what? 1010, 1020 and 1030 all
destroying each others' signal with IBOC. It's almost like they want to
fail.
