"Rumor: Citadel is turning off HD to save (electric) expenses."

LMFAO! Expect the rest of he jammers and scammers to turn off IBOC -
they are all going under and can't even afford their electrical bills!

Hope it's true. What do you think Eduardo?

HD hardly uses any electrical. A sidelight on a tower uses more than
most.

Citadel turned of HD on a couple of AMs which were interfering at night,
WABC an WJR.

Eduardo -YDF - You can't have it both ways - Either the interference
is a significant problem on AM or it's not. How come WBZ or KDKA or
WHAM or WWVA keep their hd on full time? I'm within the protective
contour of KDKA and WBZ interferes with them at night.

To stations, the issue is not the protected contour but the groundwave
useful coverage area and the dimensions of the Arbitron metro. WHAM and WWVA
have no interference in their metros or areas immediately surrounding them.
Neither do KDKA and WBZ. But apparently, WJR and WABC had problems in areas
right at the edge of the metros, and decided it was not worth keeping the HD
on at night. Since night radio listening is only a tiny part of day
listening, the decision is relatively simple.

Eduardo - You really don't know what your talking about. WBZ is a
times as strong or stronger than KDKA's groundwave in their local
area. This is not debatable. WBZ hash can be heard under KDKA most
nights. Why either of them is transmitting it is a mystery to me.
The only thing I can figure is they've bought into the idiotic notion
that people will eventually come if they keep pushing it. This was a
decision based on wishful marketing and foolish station owner/
operators not interference - of which there is plenty.

Eduardo - IBOC / HD radio is all about recklessly trying to making
money with no regard for any other issue, be that interference,
consumer wants or needs, smaller broadcaster coverage areas, or
anything else you can think of.

You mistakenly think there was actual thought that goes into who
transmits it and who doesn't - as if there is some "big-picture"
plan. There is not. Its all about economics and the possibility of
making big $$. Greed and nothing else.

A wiser Goverment would have never allowed it. But that we no longer
have.

With all your statistics and facts you are amazingly ignorant of
reality and I say that with all due respect.
Put the trade magazines down and think for yourself - if you can still
do that.

Eduardo - You're the kind of person that would be absolutely be lost
if you couldn't stand behind a bunch of statistical information that
you yourself didn't even compile but you read it somewhere. Then, you
show up and spew this crap and think yourself smart and informed.

You may be impressing yourself but you don't impress me.
