Question about KBME on HD Radio

G

Gregg.

Does Sports station KBME 790 Houston have two FM HD signals? There's some confusion on Wikipedia whether iHeart co-owned FM 99 KODA has KBME on its HD2 subchannel or rebroadcasts KTRH 740.

Wikipedia says KTRH is also on the HD3 subchannel of 93.7 KQBT. And KBME is also on the HD2 subchannel of 94.5 KTBZ.

Will an HD subchannel be set aside in Houston for iHeart's new BIN Black Information Network? The other national iHeart channel heard in Houston is Pride Radio, on KQBT-HD2. But missing is iHeart's Soft AC "The Breeze." And no "Smooth Jazz" station either, although Entercom has that covered on 96.5 KHMX-HD3.
 
Gregg, I always wonder if anyone is actually listening to any HD Channels? krbe shows up in the ratings sometimes. Maybe I heart should
get a translator for the iHeart's new Bin Black Information Network .

Just did a check of HD on the iHeart FMs. Pride Radio is on KQBT HD-2. KBME and KPRC are on the KTBZ HD-2 and 3. KTRH is on KODA HD-2. No other HD subchannels found on the iHeart stations.

The Classical format on KUHF HD-2 and the Praise format on KMJQ HD-2 regularly show up in the ratings. I suspect word of mouth helps people find the Praise HD, while Classical listeners apparently know what an HD radio is, and how to use one.

Careful when using Wikipedia for determining radio formats, information can be out of date or wildly wrong. Of course some stations constantly shuffle their HD offerings, which adds to the confusion.
