It's not being addressed because it's not true.


Even yet another case where you're denying a simple truth.
Stations ARE processing their HD streams. Sometimes as heavily as
their baseband streams. Which, with increased distortions and
digital artifacts from the lossy encoding algorithm, makes for some
pretty poor, significantly audible, unclean audio.

There is seperate processing. SOme stations don't use virtually any
processing at all on their HD streams.


Most, however, do.

And of the stations I work with, the call, every week from
Programming, and Manglement, is for more processing.

Something I have to adjust everytime I go up to the transmitter.

Now, I, personally, agree with Brenda Ann...there is really no
need for it, with today's audio, and with today's listening
environments...but Radio has never heard it that way.

So, manglement calls for more processing on the HD Streams.

Yes, it does happen. It happens quite a lot, actually.
