Hot 93 in HD??

J

jras20

Can anyone confirm if Hot93 is in HD or not? I betcha cant pick up the HD signal in Austin with a dipole antenna, with the tower 32 miles NW of Austin, I can hardly pick up any HD Signals with my HD Radio and dipole, I have a antenna outside also, but I was seeing how well HD Would do with a antenna indoors. Funny thing I can pull in San antonio/Austin analog well with a dipole antenna, I'm 60 miles from San antonio, 30 miles from Austin, HD only a few stations in Austin.

If I remember correctly, they had a promotion for the audience to name their subchannel (old school Hip-Hop I believe). I can't receive KDHT at all since I have a KHCB translator really close to me. I have a better chance of picking up 99.7 (haven't in a while either), but I doubt the translator is in HD.
 
I doupt they will put the translator in HD they only go out maybe 10 miles at the most with HD it may only go out 2-5 miles out. I'm sick of these HD commercials they need to spread them out more seems like everytime I hear commercial sweeps I hear HD Radio in one of them.
 
In 2008 I still find it amazing that there are still stations out there who arent in HD. Especially in a top 50 market.
