HD Radio updates only

KLOL HD2 has been having issues all day. It dies and comes back then the songs skip on or 2 seconds like if it was a scratched CD.
 
KRBE HD2 is off again. It was on last night.

KKHH HD2 has been a quiet buzzing sound since last night
 
Not HD, but bad metadata nevertheless, caused by metadata sponsorship. KKBQ’s RDS currently reads “Drink Responsibly by Miller Lite Wants You to on 93Q Country”… someone’s not paying attention, or they must not have listened to that advice.
 
KKHH HD has been off for at least 13 hours now. If you got a good tuner you should be able to pick up 95.5 Austin pretty weak now

Also haven’t been able to lock KHMX despite a full signal

KKHH HD is back with the HD name “NAUT-FM”. HD1 no PTY now but HD2 and HD3 are the same

KHMX HD is still not locking in

Sounds like they installed some new Nautel equipment - transmitter and/or HD multicast unit and haven't finished programming it yet.
 
For some reason, the tuner in my truck had HD disabled after a firmware update, so I thought all of Houston lost HD this morning... silly Ford.

They must've finished programming the Nautel on KKHH, the proper calls were showing on my tuner this morning. KHMX's HD is back as well.

Yeah it says KKHH-FM now. It used to just say SPOT. Still said NAUT-FM around 8 AM.

I still can’t get KHMX HD to lock though. Does it actually lock for you? I know they’re still sending song info over HD

Looks like it’s locking, and I can hear the AAC+ artifacts. At 45/N Shepherd at the moment.

Weird. Just checked again and it’s still not locking for me. I’ll get full signal but it just flashes HD1 on my radios. I might see if I can lock it using software on my computer later.

Reminds me of KLQB from Austin. When they have their HD2 I can lock the HD1 when I go up to HD2 and back. On some radios I can’t lock KORA HD1 from College Station but their subchannels are fine.

I'm having the same issue with KHMX still, this evening- HD1 continually flashes but never locks.

Hoping whatever this new unit is brings back the station logo and album art on HD. I've noticed those have been gone for a while now on all the Audacy stations in Houston.
 
I’m having issues with KLTN HD1 now. It’s like KHMX where I can’t lock it in. Their subchannels I can tune to though.
