I hope this is ok to make again. The old one has a bunch of replies. I want this to be discussion about HD Radio or translators related to HD only. I’ll start off with a detailed list of all the HD stations in the Houston, TX area. I will include the HD call signs and program types in bold. I will also list other stations you can hear that programming.

Some weird things already mentioned on here.
KKBQ HD2 artist starts with “2014-8-27” for every song
KTBZ HD3 is harder to pick up if you don’t have a strong signal
KHMX HD1 is slightly behind the analog
KMJQ HD2 sounds bad
KAMA HD4 has the old format in their text
KGLK HD3 sounds bad and is hard to pick up on a weaker signal

And a new update is KGLK HD3 changed their PTY from Top 40 to Foreign Language

There’s no HD of any kind on KFNC, despite what the legal ID claims. The 92.5 translator has no originating station.

Well, there is a special HD radio at the transmitter site of K223CW 92.5. It can receive KFNC-HD2, something no other HD radio in the world can do. Can’t receive KFNC-HD2 even at the transmitter site of KFNC. But that one magic HD radio that feeds the translator can somehow receive KFNC-HD2.

Or an internet streaming device.

What's with the wishing fines on people? I mean if they're bad people, sure. But do you know them?

An Internet streaming device is not an originating station. The 92.5 translator has no originating station. 97.5 HD-2 does not exist.

Because those of us who play by the rules in life are resentful of those that don't and continue to get away with it.

The owner of K223CW is a scofflaw and all their translators are breaking the rules. It’s different when a small AM station with a translator keeps the translator on for a week when the AM transmitter breaks. But when a translator originates programming and runs over 1000 watts, that’s an unfair advantage for the translator.
 
How long has it been since KGLK-HD2 changed their liners? I started listening to it in December 2014 (when I got my first HD radio), and more than 8 years later, it still has the exact same liners, 2 jingles, and top of the hour ID. When did they first start using that set of liners, etc.?
 
KKBQ HD2 finally fixed their artist field and it doesn’t show that date anymore.

As Mrtejano first reported, KHPT HD3 is now “Genesis 101.7”.
 
Disregard KKBQ HD2. It must have just been that song I saw that didn’t have that date
 
Noticed Mix is synced back to normal from analog to HD.
 
I can confirm KHMX finally has no delay. Also KRBE HD2 sounds normal again.
