In every market, we have had good HD experiences on AM and FM... NY,
Miami,
Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Phoenix, LA, San Diego, San Francisco, etc. All
our engineers like it, and love the sound.

I'm glad your engineers are happy, but I suspect your advertisers are
aiming at a slightly larger listening audience.

We had our highest total ratings ever in Winter 2006. The advertisers are
happy. Our company was awarded the only A+ for ratings performance by an
investment firm that tracks radio as an industry.

The HD signal exceeds the USABLE Am and FM coutours in every case...
unless
you are using the Boston Acoustics Receptor, which is a bad HD radio.

Unless you have unreasonably high standards for what counts as
'usable', this is simply false.

My standard is the contours where listening occurs. there have been plenty
of studies of where most listening occurs, and where the drop-off contours
are. Most of us have been tracking this sort of stuff since the 70's.
