"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."

"CC Radio’s Format Lab gone?"
November 2008

"Really, the next round of budget cuts--out of necessity--is likely
going to be HD Radio equipment and licensing renewals. It has cost
broadcasters money that so far has not generated ROI. This CC Radio
news above, along with the rumors that Citadel has told Engineering
not to fix any broken HD transmitters on AM, may be the tip of the
iceberg."

Finally! It's over! LMFAO! SWEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

This is GREAT news. So long and good riddance hd radio! I can't wait
to see pictures of hd radio equipment piled up in the backroom (next
to the broken copiers and broken coffee machines) of broadcast
stations.

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.

Now could someone please tell me how hd radio is going to save the
radio broadcast world when they don't even want to buy HD Radio
equipment and renew their licenses?

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.

If you read the article, FM-HDs have shut down, too!

"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)."

Nice try, Eduardo!

Eduardo - Is there ANYTHING you don't know? Is there ANYTHING you
can't justify away? Seriously, you're credibility is questionable.
Not because you're necessarily wrong but because you come across as
someone most people learn to avoid. I suspect people around you avoid
you for this very reason. Think about it.

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?
