Default CBS/Infinity and IBOC-AM?

I'll check KCBS in the AM, but it has been my experience that that IBOC
isn't always turned on. It's not like anyone is using the service. ;-)

I'm no longer hearing the IBOC sidebands as I tune past WBBM and WSCR. Have
other CBS/Infinity stations also turned off the IBOC noise?

WIND has dropped IBOC. Aside from the Clear Channel stations, it doesn't
seem like there's much commitment to IBOC-AM, at least in Chicago.

Yeah, that's been my expirence, so I didn't think much when I didn't hear
the noise. IBOC started intermittently on the two CBS stations here, but
had run continously during the daytime for maybe a couple of months. I
don't think I've heard the sidbands on either station for about 3 weeks.

Clear Channel's AM stations in Chicago continue to use IBOC.

Some, not many but some, people should be using the service. There were a
few rather expensive IBOC receivers introduced this year. IBOC was supposed
to be building momentum now.

It seems curious that a couple of big time clears have turned off the IBOC
sidebands during the Christmas season.

KCBS IBOC alive and well today.

Incidentally, IBOC leads to lower conventional AM quality on the IBOC
station itself since they have to narrow the bandwidth of the analog
signal.
