KPFT is now carrying KTRU on an HD2 stream. Rice sold KTRU's frequency
to the University of Houston for a classical station.

Yeah, it's too bad that so many universities are in such dire straits
that they're giving up their radio stations, something that they can't
readily get back when the economy recovers.

It's interesting in that article that they mention what the biggest
attraction of digital radio actually is to broadcasters: "It also allows
a station to offer multiple stations to the public without obtaining a
new FCC license." While the better quality audio is often touted, the
reality is that that's just a side benefit of the digital system, the
read advantage is the multiple channels.
