90.3 HD3

I just noticed 90.3 has fired up HD3. Currently, it is airing the same programming as HD2, which is a simulcast of WKSU. I assume it will eventually be something else, most likely jazz. I wonder if that means WCLV will drop the overnight jazz programming?

I would be surprised if either the second or third subchannel wasn't all-jazz. It'd be a perfect addition to Ideastream's format suite of all-spoken word, classical and folk music (Folk Alley, despite being totally independent of WKSU, is a link to their folk heritage).

Part of me wants such a subchannel to be branded as "WCPN" even though it likely wouldn't be on a 89.7/104.9 subchannel. The WCPN calls still have some level of identification with the jazz format.
 
I wonder if 90.3 still needs to air WKSU on HD2? WKSU with its power boost and its network of repeaters/translators should be covering NE Ohio pretty well. Perhaps they could put Folk Alley there.

There might be contractual commitments to keep Folk Alley on the WKSU stations (the station spun off FA and donated it to a nonprofit in early 2019).

From my understanding, the second on-channel booster in Warrensville Heights still needs to be built. The first one has indeed fixed the weak spots in Cleveland's west side and downtown.

My bet is on all-jazz. It would make sense to make WCLV 90.3 ALL classical.

WKSU-HD3 is basically that, simulcasting WCLV but running Classical 24 in the overnight. So making it one and the same makes perfect sense.

WKSU signal along the east shoreline (Euclid, etc) still pretty choppy. Hopefully, the Warrensville booster will help that area.

They haven't promoted the third subchannel just yet, so while we already can tell it's been "moved" there, it kinda "hasn't"? Nevermind that there's no real good resource to track HD Radio subchannels since HDRadio.com made it difficult to navigate.

When I said "We" in the previous post, I was really referring to those individuals who actually have an HD radio/tuner as it is obvious from some posts here that many do not. If you have to go to a web site, Facebook etc., then you really don't know if it's accurate or not compared to actually owning/using HD radios as I have for many years.
 
jazzneo.com is now up and redirecting to ideastream.org/jazz. They're also asking for volunteers to help transfer their music library onto the proper automation software:
