Hiall, I don't know if I'm doing this correctly, as my screen reader isn't even speaking when I type in the edit box, and I don't know what to do, and this site is too hard to get around on, as a blind person using voice over, but in the San Francisco bay area, here are the stations that have turned off their hd, if we define being turned off as the absense of the side noise, and those stations are, k l o k, k t r b, though their fidelity is still 5 kilohertz, k n e w, with the same observation, k n b r, with the same observation, and that is all I can think of right now as far as the stations in the bay area that have turned off their hd in the bay area, though I wish that 960 740, and 1310 would turn thrie hd's off also. Thanks, but I haven't been on this site in so long, that I've forgotten how to get around, so, preferrably, if I had somebody I could email, and they could post, that might be easy for me right now, but I'm getting no feedback with voiceover on safari 5.1. Thank you for reading this.

a.m. stations in the bay area that have turned off their hd

I think you are doing a better job than I do when using my iPad. 
Most people do not have HD, so they are using the side hash to identify which stations are
using iBOC, just as you are.
What is not determined is if the HD will remain off when the personnel at the transmitter
site turn it off.( I don't know if that is remote controllable, I assume it is an option).
I don't even think management knows the answer in the long term.
The overall thinking is that HD-AM did not work.
First and foremost is that it was more trouble maintaining than the revenue generated.
Second, by the time you were in range of the HD signal, the signal was strong enough for
comfortable analogue AM listening.
Third, if it weren't kept up with, there is a delay in the digital signal from the analogue
signal that made the information unintelligible in border signal areas. Those areas could
be bridges or buildings in the MSA.
Fourth, the hash found its way to other markets and interfered with the stations in that
area.
The idea was to make the “AM sound like FM” was flawed from the start. Since FM was
supposed to sound like digital. In the overall mindset and thinking is that FM isn’t good
enough so why are we listening to “AM that sounds like FM”?

dxer, there used to be an option to see a stripped down version of the boards, formatted for mobile phones. It might work better with your screen reader. Unfortunately, I cannot remember how to do it. It involved altering the URL slightly. I used it to visit Radio Info on my old cell phone before I got a smart phone.
If I find how to do it, I'll post a link here.

Does this work?

That's it! Thank you, tfcwings.
I can understand our sight impaired friend, but why would you need to know where it is?

Because even though I have smartphone now, the radio-info site is a pain to read on the small screen. The wap site also loads quicker on slow connections.
