Has anyone else noticed that 105.7 WROR...

Eli Polonsky

...has had the stereo channels reversed between their regular analog broadcast and their HD digital broadcast for at least a month now?

When the HD radio switches from analog to digital reception (or back) on WROR, the stereo channels reverse cross back and forth. This doesn't happen on any other Boston area HD station. It sounds as if my headphones are being turned around on my head whenever the receiver switches from analog to HD.
 
It might actually sound refreshing on a station that is otherwise utterly and completely boring...
 
I noticed this on another area station a couple years back. After a while, they eventually fixed it. If WROR is indeed inverted on either the analog or digital side, it is definitely a mistake and an engineer will need to reverse the channels (on whichever feed is actually actually inverted!). Its more likely the digital side is what is inverted. You may also notice that while your radio is transitioning (cross-fading) between analog and digital, a strange out of phase effect will occur depending on the content, since momentarily, both channels are L+R. It sounds very strange for about 1/2 second!

That effect has nothing to do with what the OP posted. What you're talking about will occur if one channel is out of phase with the other, not if L and R are reversed.
