San Antonio KAJA Country / HD2 97.3 Texas Country KQXT AC / HD2 101.9 Smooth Jazz KXXM CHR/Pop/ HD2 96.1 Mix Sounds like Mix is going to simulcast....
 
I wish they would make home recievers afordiable I would get one. First I gues I need to be replacing my coaxal, if they are broadcasting in full power I think my coax may be bad.

I bet there will be $150 receivers in the store by this holiday season and $100 receivers by the '07 holidays. Once the content is in place around the country, demand will increase enough to justify mass production.
 
Aren't most Cox Radio stations broadcasting in HD already?? I thought someone here had said Z106.7 and Y100 we're both on HD months ago??
 
KROCK LIVES!! CBS Radio is broadcasting Active Rock on HD2 102.7.
 
Are they still working on the tower of america? I still cant get 104.5 that great, Jack is better and 101.9 is better after I changed out the coax. all of the other stations are comming in great now. I gues it was on my end. :-\

Thats strange that they re-launched a rock station that didnt do very well in analog radio, why didnt they bring back the old KTFM on HD.
 
I heard the morning crew on WOAI-AM discussing HD radio formats on their fellow CC stations this morning.

Apparently Mix 96.1 is playing a "Dance" format on its HD2 signal. It's described here as a simulcast, but this was the description that the 60 or 70-something Bill Rhody and news guy Paul Lyhander applied to what they were hearing on the HD radio in Bill's office.
 
I ask then, where the hell is the HD home components? And not those Boston radio things something to hook on to the home theater system... if they expect this to work they need to get some out! Not just for cars but for homes also!
 
Unfortunately, the HD-2 of Mix 96.1 is not Dance. It sounds more like the crap they play on Mix 94.7 in Austin.

Sirius is the way to go!!

I figured the guys who were describing that format were guessing. That's the last time I'll trust news-talk personalities to identify a contemporary music format. :D
 
Our local news/talker in Tampa Bay has been broadcasting in HD since last fall, and promoting that fact at the bottom of each hour. I finally got to hear it and it does sound just as good as FM. The downside is you hear everything. Clicks, pops, old man nostil weezing... all the flaws. Maybe putting old AM talent on a clean signal isn't such a good idea.

HD is exciting but I wonder, won't radio split their Arbitron numbers even more? Instead of two good FM country stations in S.A., if one adds "Texas Country" and the other plays "Country Oldies" on their new channels, they'll lose some cume to these specialty formats. Or maybe they already have lost those folks to XM/Sirius.
