Can Clear Channel Use an HD3 station for country music?

Clear Channel replaced Country Music on 103.5 HD2 with a rhythmic station aimed at a gay and lesbian audience. The CBS owned stations in NYC use the HD3 channels to simulcast their AMs. I would suggest that Clear Channel use 103.5 HD3 for country music.

People haven't taken to the "stations between the stations" on HD. Further, who's available to listen? People aren't spending the bucks for HD radios. Further, they haven't found HD2 let alone HD3 signals.

In answer to your question ... can they? Yes, of course they can. They could turn it into a country Internet station because they won't invest in what it will take to reach such a limited HD audience. And the IBOC hash won't help.
 
Can they? Sure.
Will they? very unlikely.
Should they? NO. Looking beyond the fact HD hasn't even found takeoff speed yet, even the big guys realize splitting up the limited super compressed 96k more than 2 ways for music channels is not a good idea.
 
It was just posted over on the dentist board that, according to KTU PD Rob Miller, the country format will move over to 106.7 HD2 on Friday.

No word on whether the classic lite format will be completely replaced or if it'll end up on HD3.

Spanish is a language, not a format.

Ah yeah it is a format, check radio-locator.com and all the others that say 105.9 WCAA is SPANISH.
Whatever you call it,its still IN SPANISH! Sorry for Generalizing things to make it easier for the less complicated. ::)
