HD Radio updates only

A few minutes ago Pride Radio went from the generic “Pride Radio/Our Culture Our Music” text to now just “HD2/HD2.”

I noticed earlier KQBT HD2 wasn’t showing the Pride Radio logo or song titles, just the generic branding, which I thought was weird. Kept listening a few more minutes and all of a sudden the info changed to just “HD2/HD2”. So strange!

As of earlier this morning, looks like this has been resolved!
 
As mentioned in the other thread KQBU HD is off and KAMA HD has returned. KAMA actually locked in for me unlike KQBU did

How long was KQBU in HD? I’m trying to remember if they have ever been in HD on 93.3. Nothing comes to mind.

KAMA is on with HD, but no additional subchannels.

Thought occurred to me that a test of HD on 93.3 could mean some change is about to happen?

Given the ratings the client gets what they pay for with KQBU.🤪

Nothing against TUDN, but I would think there would be another format that would pull some actual numbers for 93.3. Quite possible the station becomes a pawn in the upcoming ownership consolidation horsetrading.
 
KHMX HD Song/Artist info has been stuck since at least Friday. No logo being broadcast either. RDS still seems to be working properly.
 
KPFT HD has been off since July 26th.

I also forgot to mention KQBU HD came back around July 28th. It’s still not locking in like KHMX
 
Radio One has rebranded Country Legends 92.9 HD2 as "Rodeo Radio."

They are using the same logo that Cox had service marked for 93Q to use during rodeo season, and added older songs "from the 40s to the 90s" but it's still pretty 90s focused.

40% 80’s
40% 90’s
20% Pre-80’s

I like easy to add numbers. :)
 
Oh yeah KQBU HD finally locks in for me. They also went from a Sports PTY to No PTY

I’m not receiving HD on KQBU here in NW Harris County. However solid lock on HD from KQQK, whose transmitter is very close to that of KQBU.

Sure you’re not getting a “false positive” on KQBU?

KQBU HD IBOC levels are low, awaiting on analysis on the combined fm antenna at the Devers site. Though KQBU is still far away for HD to be a lock, i guess if you have a good antenna signal, on a good day, it may lock on. Hopefully with the analysis, we can figure out the real issue with this signal and site, then go max IBOC limits per fcc

Curious why HD is being added to KQBU after all these years without it.

Unless some sort of change is on the way?🤔😉
