93.3 KLIF-FM Not Broadcasting in HD

[TheRover]

93.3 is not broadcasting in HD. I miss the HD-2 signal, the simulcast of 570.

Now I go from the FM band over to the AM band to listen.

Not as convenient for me.

Why do you prefer listening to it on FM?

I have to imagine that KLIF-FM's HD was practically useless,
shoot the Analog isn't all that great.

I too am wondering what happened to i93.3 FM's HD signal. You can contact the station's manager regarding this issue.

It could be a technical problem with their HD antenna (Not the first time it happened with a radio station here in the DFW area, 97.9's HD signal was unavailable throughout October), they might've killed the HD signal for good to make way to simulcast KLIF 570 on the main 93.3 frequency (I hope not), any number of possibilities.

I grew up in the region where 50kw is the maximum...I think 93.3's signal is perfectly adequate. I don't mind those little flit flit noises as I drive along, they're normal to me.

I do have some good news: KLIF-FM's HD signals are back on the air.

It's SPORTS / SPORTS / SPORTS

My presets for FM1 on my car receiver:

1- 93.3-2
2- 92.9
3- 96.7
4- 99.5-2
5- 103.3
6- 105.3

So, with one preset bank, I can listen to Sports and Talk radio,
without changing to another preset bank....

The convenience, that's why

Digging up a year-old old thread I know, but I just noticed 93.3 has no "HD" and of course no HD-2 simulcast of KLIF-AM. AM is very noisy on my AV receiver because of its close proximity with other electronics, so in the past I've listened to Ed Wallace's Sat morning program on the HD-2 channel, that seems to be no more. Any recent info on this?

It's probably shut down for routine maintenance. Not the first time it happened with this and other radio stations broadcasting in HD.

The KLIF ID still says "KLIF-AM Dallas-Fort Worth, KLIF-FM HD2 Haltom City, KKLF-AM Richardson" blah, blah, blah. Don't think they'd keep it in there if it was gone for good.

The Ticket was still using the KKLF call in its ID for a while after 1700 stopped simulcasting it and switched to KLIF about a year ago. So there's some lag time in updating those, it seems.

Ok, while I will admit that the ball is regularly dropped around here, I assure you there are no plans currently in place to take KLIF-AM off the HD-2 channel. Just moving down the street is a big enough hassle for all of us.

On a related note, who the hell listens to "HD" (AKA the god-awful IBOC) radio? and why KLIF? The 570/1700 combo is loud and clear all over north Texas.

Those that wanna listen to smooth jazz on the go (can't get that on regular radio in this market anymore).

What about KNTU? Granted its not "smooth" jazz, but the playlists are solid and they ACTUALLY take requests. (As an Alum, I may be just a little biased.)

I listen(ed) to KLIF HD-2 because the electrical noise and interference on AM in that part of the house makes its reception very noisy. The 93.3 HD signal was received clear and quiet.

Although I do listen to that station sometimes, not everyone in DFW can get that signal. Look at their coverage map.

Even in McKinney sometimes 88.1 can get iffy.

yeah, that was always the joke, can barely be heard in the city of license.

Yeah, I get that, I'm actually pretty familiar with the coverage map, it's only an approximation though; actual coverage is more in line with the purple or "distant" reception ring. I can hear it clearly in downtown Dallas as well as most of Ft. Worth.
My point was more to the fact that they exist as one of the few remaining jazz stations in the country RIGHT HERE IN DFW.

But at night in Collin County all I hear on 570 is the Cuban "Radio Reloj" and the "RR" in CW.
570 is done once you get to north Plano on 75. I had a neighbor once who ask me to build him a loop antenna so he could hear Savage back when he was on 570 at night. thankfully the neighbor moved..
