Any AMs broadcasting in Analog + HD?

WWJ turned theirs back on last week.

I cannot decode the HD signal in my car (despite living in an area with predicted 15 mV/m or better signal strength), and the analog audio now sounds like a weak walkie-talkie. Absolutely terrible listening experience, even on narrow band receivers.
 
None in Boston, WBZ A did it for a long time then shut it down, WRKO AM never did it, the rest of the AM's in the market don't even count.
 
Baltimore's WCAO "Heaven 600" is still IBOC. WWIN-AM "Spirit 1400" used to be, but I haven't heard it in at least 6 months.

Just wondering if all AMs have abandoned Analog + HD.
Click to expand...
The Denver Market has quite a few...
560 KLZ HD, Basically a conservative talk station ran by Crawford broadcasting. I can receive it fairly consistently from Cheyenne.
670 KLTT HD is a Religious talk station, also owned by Crawford. I will have the HD flash on my home radio on a daily basis, but it just will never lock. It has locked once while I was testing out a vehicle with HD capability on Westland Road in Cheyenne..
810 KLVZ, a Nostalgia music comes in at night, but I've never received the HD part of it here. Luckily, AJonAir on YouTube went to Denver in February 2021, and he confirmed the HD.
910 KPOF HD, a religious music/talk station is also fairly strong in Cheyenne, and I have locked in that digital signal whilst driving around town.
1220 KLDC has HD, but I can't receive even their analog signal here, nonetheless their HD signal. Again, a fellow Dxer has helped me confirm their HD status.

Skywave:
I can receive KSL Salt Lake City at night, with occasional HD lock-ins that can last for up to 3-5 minutes at a time. It is right next to KFAQ Tulsa (now KTSB) however, so the digital sidebands often interfere with one another. KFAQ is harder to lock in, but it has been done before. I can also receive KRLD Dallas at times in HD.
 
WDGY (Hudson, Wisconsin) was broadcasting in hybrid AM up until November of 2021 when it was shut off. That was the only station in the market (or hell, even the state) in HD.
 
740 KBRT & 1260 KMZT (Los Angeles area) and 770 KCBC (Sacramento area) transmit hybrid HD. Those three plus KSL are the only AMs west of the Rocky Mountains that transmit HD currently.
 
Yup...that's KSL.
