Is it just me... or does the new logo look like "O99.7"?

"Q99-7 is Updating"

So go back to a syndi show that failed in the market when iHeart did it? Doesn’t make sense to me.
Kristin and Ethan do sound really good.
It sounds dated and chaotic
honestly, I really like this package... sounds way better than the cheezo TM jingles they were playing before. Maybe they'll add these, or something similar, to their other CHR cashcow, KRBE/Houston, which currently only runs one cruddy TM jingle at top of hour.
There’s a one second delay between the HD and analog feed. Very noticeable when driving in fringe areas. Been this way for over a month. Hopefully, they fix this soon.
Most likely nobody at the station has noticed. Have you contacted the station? I wonder if any of Cumulus Atlanta employees listen to the OTA product or do they use the ap?
Back in the day when 106.7 was still playing oldies, that was always a problem. However, I would call the station and leave messages. It would get fixed in a couple of days.
Should be fixed by the morning
What is involved in syncing the HD to the analog?
Depends on what generation of encoder they're using.
The most current versions of HD encoders use GPS timing to keep the delay precisely locked at all times, and will send alarms if they lose GPS sync for whatever reason.
Prior to those encoders, stations could use outboard tools such as the Inovonics Justin to monitor the analog and digital signals and automatically keep them adjusted and in sync.
And before that, earlier versions of HD required engineers to manually adjust the delay to bring it back into sync when and if the delay drifted. Without knowing what 99.7 is using behind the scenes, it's hard to say which of these scenarios applies.
Well ... it is a package from 2013.
There is a station (call letters not mentioned to protect the guilty), that last time I was there, they had an HD receiver output to feed the analog processing. It worked really well because if the HD failed, someone would "reboot" the HD. Studios were at the tower.
💀💀💀 yeah this feels old school.
