HD Radio updates only

Per RadioInsight, Westwood One’s Good Time Oldies (which KRBE-HD2 airs) is being shut down on April 20. I wonder what will replace it. I’ve been listening to it a lot lately and really like the playlist so I’m pretty bummed out about this.
 
KQBT HD was flashing on and off for a bit this afternoon. Listening right now and there’s about a 1 second delay between the analog and digital signal. Definitely an interesting listen in an area with weak HD signal lol. Assuming they’re working on it now and hopefully it’s fixed soon!

Right after I posted that, sounds like the delay has been fixed!

Although, I have noticed for the past week or so.. every few minutes on 93.7 HD1, I hear some pops/crackles in the music. Sounds like the music slows down a bit for a few seconds too while it makes the pop/crackle sound, then goes back to normal. Just heard it again now, so that still has yet to be fixed.

What a shame. KBRE-HD2 is my go-to station when I'm in Houston (well and 95.7 The Spot). Let's hope they can find an alternative source with a similar playlist.

I’m hoping they could go back to The True Oldies Channel, but I feel like that might be wishful thinking since it’s from a distributor with no connection to Cumulus.
 
KTBZ-HD1 has some sort of static or artifacting going on and I've heard it in 2 different vehicles. Goes away if I tap HD off so it's a digital only issue.
 
In Housron with some time to scan the FM band. Compared to other places I have been, Houston is well populated with HD signals. I wonder if Houston had the largest number of HD signals in the country?

Dallas is pretty high on the list as well. Around 20 stations that are broadcast in digital. Some with "stations between the stations" and some only running an HD1.
