Bellingham Radio stations to start HD

E

e-dawg

According to nwbroadcasters.com, KISM 92.9 and KAFE will start their HD broadcasting. Will this affect CKYE RED 93.1 and CHHR SHORE 104.3 in Vancouver? Since HD channels spills +/- .1 FM channel
 
If it spills over the border and wreaks havoc in any way with CKYE's and/or CHHR's main signals, they'll have to shut it off until they can directionalize it east/southeast. But not too far south or they'll end up stepping on KQMV's, KUBE's, KMTT's and KMCQ's future HD signals. Puget Sound is a natural signal amplifier and that potential is pretty likely.......
 
Are you sure that KMCQ will destroy two more DX frequencies in the Seattle area in the near-future?!? (104.3/104.7)

They're not now. But the future is something else. I don't know if they're planning HD anytime soon or if their future buyer is. Time will tell.
 
KAFE's got their HD on. CHHR is all but a memory in the Bellingham area because the I-BUZZ is so strong. I feel the same will happen to CKYE soon when KISM flips theirs on.....

Both stations also now have RDS.

Wonder how Vancouver is putting up with the I-BUZZ.....
 
CHHR has been wiped off the map in Everett, where many Vancouver stations come in. It's sad to see this happening...
Just as we get started with more first-adjacents causing interference, now it's IBOC. What's next!?!
