Nevermind 😂 I was about to post about KKHH HD3 I was crawling down, and they were playing commercials in Spanish, so I thought they had probably flipped to a Spanish language format. But I guess it was just one ad.

KKHH HD-3 is of course BetQL, the fulltime sibling to the 650 AM daytimer. I only occasionally listen to them (zero interest in sports betting/gambling) but have heard Spanish language spots from time to time.
 
KKHH-HD2 appears to finally be listenable again. I don’t hear the loud buzz in the background of the music anymore. However, it sounds like music is only coming from the left channel. The TOH ID plays in stereo, then I go back to only hearing music from the left side of my car. Anybody else hearing this issue?

(P.S. how much money do you think we’d have to pay Audacy to get them to bring back artist/song info on their HD subchannels? I never know what I’m listening to! :ROFLMAO:)

Thanks for reminding me about this! Just sent the Channel Q Brand Manager an email about this. He’s an awesome guy, so fingers crossed these issues will get fixed soon!! 🙂
 
KHPT HD3 is currently running SOL RADIO they are playing regional Mexican songs but right now they changed to Carlos Vives. On both HD three and on the 101.7 FM translator.
 
KRBE appears to have added a Ramji Law Group ad
on its RDS & HD text during songs now. It’ll show the song info for about 90 seconds, then the Ramji text for 30 seconds, then back to the song info.

I believe the Audacy stations have done this same type of thing for a while now… was wondering when it was coming to KRBE.

HD info is also still ~15 seconds delayed on KRBE between songs. Regular RDS has no delay.

In KC, one of the Audacy stations has a personal injury or accident lawyer ad as part of the RDS.
 
KHMX seems to have tweaked their audio chain. Sounds absolutely terrible today on their HD carrier, like it's heavily peaking and over modulated on all of the elements coming out of Wide Orbit.

I'm still unable to get their HD locked in. But I know currently them and KKHH have their RDS off. Don't know if it's related to what you're hearing.

I also still can’t get KHMX to lock. When I messaged them about the problem earlier this week, they informed me their HD channel is off. No indication if it’ll come back, but it’s interesting that artist/song info is still transmitting over HD.

I disabled the HD reception on my truck’s tuner, and audio sounds just as painful. Almost sounds like someone’s got every setting on the Omnia cranked to “12”.
 
KHVU changed their HD name to KHVU. No longer the weird default “HD-Radio” name. Also added a PTY of Spanish Music.
