Clear Channel not ready for HD in Columbus?

X

xmusicmatt

Interesting that a smaller market such as dayton is "ready" to launch HD-2 Channels but Columbus isn't.

Think Clear Channel and the other commerical broadcasters would want to get on the ball and get some HD signals on air in Columbus.

My guess is CC Dayton is going on now because they can program it from the Cincy CC Building and feed it to CC Dayton. Yes i know they could do it with Columbus too. But Dayton is a easier jump because of the 50 mile distance compared to 100 miles from Cincy to Columbus. It looks like Louisville isn't in the first wave of HD launches Either

Believe it or not, Dayton is market 58, and that's not that small. It's bigger than Toledo, same size as Louisville. It would be the 2nd largest market in Indiana, and ties for the largest if it were in KY. Just because Cincinnati is so large and Dayton is only 50 miles up the road, don't take credit from a market with over 800,000 residents to serve.
Dayton CC stations do not rely on Cincinnati or Columbus for anything. WTUE receives no help from WEBN. WDKF doesn't look to WKFS or WNCI for help. Mix 107.7 and Mix 94.1 are completely seperate. And on and on.
All of CC Dayton's HD2 channels will be programmed from within CC Dayton, just as all of the primary stations are now being programmed locally. The current PDs will do most of the decision making, and from what I understand, actually were given a lot of the say in what formats were chosen for the HD2 channels.
There are a lot of people who would benefit greatly from seeing the Dayton radio market first-hand. It's really a radio market, with lots of local talent.

CC Columbus only has one FM that is broadcasting HD, and it's 105.7 The Brew. Both WTVN and WTPG has HD radio too, but if you look at the list they are only doing the "HD-2" on FM's...not AM. I heard by the end of the year WNCI, WCOL, and WLZT will have their HD signal on-air.

That was misprinted. WLW wasn't mentioned in the Cincinatti lineup, but appeared in Dayton instead. It says WLW's HD2 will be the in-depth news channel. I'm still confused about HD2 on AM, but it seems that they're claiming that you'll find WLW with an HD2.

Anywhere we can find more info about WLW's "in-depth" format?

WLW is gonna have an In Depth News Channel called WLW on one of the Dayton fm's HD-2 channels

Top 40 WDKF HD2 "Artist Channel"
Smooth Jazz WDSJ HD2 "Jazz"
News/Talk WLW HD2 "In-Depth News"
AC WLQT HD2 "Oldies 60s & 70s"
Hot AC WMMX HD2 "Christian AC"
Classic Rock WTUE HD2 "Deep Tracks & Live Rock Cuts"
Alternative WXEG HD2 "All New Alternative"

That covers all of CC Dayton's FM's. It lists "In-Depth News" as WLW's HD2. There are no other FM stations in Dayton on which to place this news format.
...unless you know of one that I don't.
I still think it's a misprint that should have been listed under Cincy instead of Dayton.

this is the list for Dayton HD-2 from Radiobb.com/HD

94.5 Artist Channel - Launches February 2
99.9 60’s/70’s Oldies - Launches February 2
103.9 New Alternative - Launches February 2
104.7 Deep Tracks/Live Rock - Launches February 2
106.5 In-Depth News “WLW 2″ - Launches February 2
107.7 Christian AC - Launches February 2

Looks like WDSJ is going to be WLW 2 not Jazz
plus there is no HD-2 on AM and also the fact wlw is a Cincy Station
