HD Radio in Charlotte and Multicasts

W

With new HD-2 radio stations being launched throughout the country by Clear Channel, CBS Radio, Entercom, and others, when do you think that HD Radio will be coming to Charlotte?

I checked on Ibiquity's website and it is noted that only WEND, WLNK, WRFX, WFAE, and WPZS are broadcasting in HD (no multicasts.)

When will CBS Radio's stations get set up as well as CC's remaining WIBT, WKKT, and WLYT (none of which are even listed as licensed on Ibiquity's page).

What formats do you think will be put on the HD-2 subchannels?

I was surprised that Charlotte wasn't on the list of HD multicast rollouts, but these stations need start broadcasting in HD before and subchannels will surface.

It would appear that CBS-owned WPEG has been broadcasting in HD for some time. As a part of their top of the hour ID, they say "now broadcasting in HD: Hear the difference" This has been going on since about THanksgiving,I think...

It was my understanding that WFAE was multi-casting some NPR feeds.

Some of the CBS stations should be up and running in HD soon. Someone said that WPEG already is but I haven't heard it myself.

All I have are rumors nothing definate but ask yourself where the format holes are and that's the answer!
