WABC 770 NYC seems to be running IBOC at night (now 4:30am EDT),
wiping out WJR 760 Detroit listening in Central Ohio, which is
a pretty hefty signal to be wiping out.

I just checked at 4:50am EDT and couldn't hear any IBOC. I'd like WBBM 780
Chicago to switch theirs on once at night to see how that would sound here. If
it's anything like it is in the daytime it'll make a mess.

The FCC has not authorized nighttime IBOC - IBOC is in a state of great
turmoil, and is not going to happend, despite what some idiots say:

"As much as I'd like to hear Georgetown basketball games in this
clarity next year, however, I probably won't; FCC regulations prohibit
AM HD broadcasts after dark, lest they interfere with the reception of
distant AM signals."

I rest my case !!!

There are over 1000 HD stations on the air. There are commitments for
several thousand more. It already happened.

FCC regulations permit HD from 6 AM or Sunrise, whichever is earlier to 6 PM
or sunset, whichever is later. There is no specific prohibition for the rest
of the night hours, because that has not been decided on yet. There is a
current LIMITATION, not a specific prohibition.

HD is not yet authorized for night operation, although 4:30 AM falls in the
experimental period, so they could be testing.

WABC-77 AM (along with WOR-710 and WFAN-66 AM) shuts down the IBOC down
for the night.

WCBS-88 AM, however is running it 24/7. I guess they're experimenting
interference with WLS-89 AM,Chicago?

WNYC-82 AM was running IBOC day and night for the past month (10,000
watts day, 1000 watts night). The exciter has been off since this past
Friday night, however. As of this morning, it was still shut off.

WADO-1280 AM's exciter has also been off over the weekend. I don't
know what happened this morning, though. Didn't tune in.

So I don't know what's been happening...aside from LOTS of hash in the
daytime.
My Tivoli-Model 1 is now useless on AM in the daytime. Go figure.

I'm still waiting for WINS-1010, WEPN-1050 and WBBR-1130 to go
IBOC...maybe in a few months time? Ditto the regionals (WPAT-AM 93,
WZRC-1480, etc.), although those were playing with IBOC back in 2003
and then shut it off, never to turn it back on.

Salem Broadcasting (WMCA-57 and WWDJ-97 AM) are holding off on IBOC for
now....

There are FAR fewer HD/IBOC stations on the air:
