How many HD radio subchannels are available at WBUR-FM 90.9 ?...

a. How many hybrid digital HD radio subchannels are available at WBUR-FM Boston University radio 90.9 ?

b. What kinds of broadcasts are available on WBUR's HD radio subchannels?...

WBUR has never had any HD subchannels, just their main audio, which seems like quite a waste to me...
 
The HD Radio site gives you an idea for all these stations, though it isn't always accurate. One would expect the websites for the various stations might have links to the HD2 and HD3s they have but not necessarily...I don't think there's a link to Funkytown on WEEI's, for example.
But you will find links to WKLB Classic Country on the KLB site, Smooth Jazz on the WMJX
site, etc. Smaller college stations like my own WMWM don't have HD sub channels. Stations
like WATD don't, either. But I do scan the dial of my HD portable and do notice that there
are none on WBUR, or WCRB for that matter.

The WGBH site as I mentioned in another thread have several classical-related streams but none
of these are put on HD2, HD3 etc

You've already been corrected on the improper use of "hybrid digital" by no less an authority than DavidEduardo. What are you up to--trying to get iBiquity to use the term and thereby make it official? As I pointed out in an earlier post in one of the many other related threads that you started, "hybid digital" would be an appropriate name for iBiquity's digital radio technologies BUT, iBiquity owns the trademark and you make yourself look awfully foolish when you keep referring to those technologies by a monicker that the trademark owner has repeatedly and emphatically disavowed.

As for WBUR, it could, if it wanted to, create an HD-2 (stereo) subchannel and an HD-3 (mono) subchannel. As for what they might program, you need to ask WBUR. Based on the Spanish-language programs heard overnight on weekends on WBUR, I would think some sort of Spanish programming would be something WBUR would think about--if it ever decided to activate HD Radio subchannels.
 
>"What are you up to-..."

Trying to make an enquiry relatively more clear to more folks who might happen upon this searching the web. Even sales staffs at electronics stores haven't been familiar with the different HDs.

Any better way to distinguish the different HDs?...
 
Even sales staff? That would be the same sales staff
that sold SSB CB radios with "twice the number of channels".
Who wouldn't want that? ::) ;) ;D

Disavowing the name Hybrid Digital was part of ibiquities failed attempt to associate their junk technology with HD TV's success. Ibiquity originally called it Hybrid Digital so they could steal the abbreviation HD and mislead consumers into associating HD with high definition.
