ALT 107.7 has 'The Lake" back on HD2

We moved "The Lake" to 107.7 HD2 right after the WBEN-AM simulcast began on analog and HD1 ( i know because I was running the board when we made the switch, and re-routed the audio.) AFAIK that hasn't changed, but was has changed recently is installation of a new transmitter out in Wethersfield to replace the ailing Energy Onyx "Bernie Box." The HD box, a BE FMi703, was a constant source of aggravation so they may have gone with the new Nautel box to handle HD. In re: formats, I'm way out of the target demo but my first choice is alternative if I'm punching around the dial. But I'm a bit jilted in that I've worked in radio most of my life.
 
I have my (Desktop) computer hooked up to my stereo system.
Listening online.
The Lake just played She's a rainbow by the Rollnig Stones...You really have to remember the days of AM stereo to understand the feeling I just got.
(although perhaps better, being FM)
This radio station is absolutely amazing. (for sound)
Those who are not usually into the Lake format might at least appreciate Entercom's efforts to have the music run so perfectly, back and forth between speakers. (using the Rolling Stones She's a rainbow as the best example)

It's not a bad station. It could do with some radio announcers though.

So since I reported The Lake being back on HD2, the HD2 channel of 107.7 keeps appearing and disappearing from day to day. It was gone again for a few weeks. Now for the past 2 weeks it is there but no audio. I have not checked the online stream but Entercom must not care about this channel. Being that it is off the air more than it is on. Tough to sell air time but maybe they only care about the internet stream?
 
I doubt that Entercom engineers are told to waste time and
resources on HD. Probably less than 50 people in the state of NY listening to
HD stations.

Entercom should have left The Lake on 107.7 FM.
The results since have been moribund...
