CBS HD stations off the air for weeks in NYC

[nd2023]

92.3 Now and Fresh 102.7 haven't been in HD for at least 2 weeks. Also, Clear Channel's Q102 in Philadelphia has not been in HD for several days. So there, 3 major market stations owned by the biggest HD proponents have been off the air for days on end and the listeners don't notice or care.

What does that tell you?

You noticed, so it's not 'nobody'. I get at least one e-mail every time an HD station in Birmingham goes off, so I can keep my website updated. People are listening, it's just not many.

Since an insignificant number of folks actually use the HD subchannels, it's no need to prioritize the time to fix them.

They're leasing the HD channel(s) because they can't figure out how to make money from them any other way.

I (or most of us on this site) don't count as an average listener. I only noticed because it's e-skip season and the lack of IBUZ gives me a few extra channels to hear e-skip on. I hope it's off till at least July.

1 out of 212,237 ain't bad.

Yeah, but if you back the radio engineers out of the equation, it becomes 0 for 212,237!!
