ABC pulls plug on nightime IBOC
 

From QRZ.COM:

As of October 2, Citadel Broadcasting, the parent company of ABC Radio
network, has instructed all 10 of its AM affiliates who had already
converted to IBOC, to cease night time use of the digitial modulation
scheme, citing many complaints from listeners. Some complaints came from
listeners OF the IBOC-modulated stations, while others came from listeners
of adjacent channel stations, that were being interferred with due to the
IBOC bandwidth. Citadel Director of Engineering Marty Stabbert, in a memo
to his staff said, ""In response to the lackluster performance, the limited
benefit and various reports of significant interference, Citadel is
suspending nighttime AM HD operations at this time. Please reinstate your
previous procedures for daytime-only HD operation as soon as possible."
Stabbert says he will attempt to work with Ibiquity, the company that
developed the wide-band digital AM modulation scheme to see if there is a
way to overcome the many problems encountered. Daytime IBOC for the ABC
network affiliates is not affected at this time.

ABC & Citadel are much more intelligent broadcasters than are the folks at
Univision Radio.

There is no ABC radio; Citadel bought the ABC stations and operates the
network with rights to the name.

There is no Citadel radio. That's just what they want you to believe
they're named.

When these cracks begin appearing in the iNiquity facade, I worry
about the psychological impact on Tardo. He's just insecure and
fragile enough that this could push him over the edge. Someone's apt
to find him coiled up in a dark closet at Univision, slobbering all
over himself and masturbating to a photograph of Bob Orban.

It's not good or bad news. It is one company which wants to further study
and maybe request modifications of night HD. What the bad news is has to do
with the declining and ageing listenership of AM... HD was a hope that had a
slim chance of reversing this.
