When, they start getting a bunch of listener complaints, hopefully
they will wake up - it not like anyone is listening with HD radios.

ABC radio hasn't shown the interest in IBOC that the other big networks
have.

I first heard the IBOC noise on WLS this morning and I'm sure it hasn't been
around long. Apparently ABC has decided IBOC is worth it.

Likely, the move is to facilitate the sale to Citadel, which has not
yet closed. IBOC implementation is expensive. And a potential buyer
would want to see such an installation up and running on someone else's
dime before closing on a property of questionable viability and high price.

50,000 Watt clear channel stations do not need IBOC.

They need it more than any other kind of station as they are commercially
viable as long as they find a way to lower the age of their listeners.

And those big 50 kw stations make all their money in the local metro, not on
the basis of extended coverage.

Ah. Maybe that explains why WLS continues to run their AM Stereo pilot at
night.

Yeah, I did notice that.

Being one of the first to implement and one of the best examples of
the potential of what AM Stereo could do (once platform motion was
resolved) it's a nice tip of the hat to the history of the station to
hang on to AM Stereo in whatever way it can.
