Idea. 2012 news report covering hybrid digital HD radio ! How to listen.

.... Do you work for iBiquity? You've been blowing up the Boston board all week with tons of threads.

The groups that are part of the "HD Digital Radio Alliance" like CBS and Clear Channel as well as other groups dedicate at least hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of spots every year to HD radio awareness. CBS is running one unit an hour for HD radio on many of its stations. That's a lot more coverage than a 1-day fake news story.

For anyone who hasn't figured it out yet, the "Bob" behind the [email protected] e-mail address is iBiquity's CEO, Bob Struble.

Meanwhile, the Bob behind the HD radio board at Radio-Info.com is Bob Savage, owner of WYSL 1040 Avon NY (Rochester market). At night, WYSL receives wicked interference from first-adjacent WBZ Boston's upper HD Radio sidebands. Savage claims that WBZ's HD Radio broadcasts constitute an unauthorized modification of WYSL's license, because those sidebands are much louder than the signal WBZ would send out if it were broadcasting either in analog mono or analog AM stereo. According to Savage, such an increase should have required WBZ to file an application for a construction permit with the FCC and the FCC should have held hearings on that application.
 
There was a time before WBZ started HD on 1030, or while they temporarily had it off,
that I actually picked up KDKA 1020 while driving at night in Danvers. (You'd think being so
close would prevent it, but it did happen--also I have picked up the 670 from Chicago
despite the presence of WRKO, but again rare). With HD, no hope of getting it and probably
not much luck getting WEPN 1050 either, though in recent years I have (fighting it out
with CHUM though). Anyway AM HD is the bane of DX-ers.

WBUR News, WGBH News, NPR News, WBZ News or CBS News... pull together a 2012 news in depth report covering hybrid digital HD radio and related issues it brings up.

That's a ton more than the average person's attention span, especially on such an irrelevant-to-life topic on a failed, terrible system forced upon us by entities that know its a lemon.
 
I did get a portable HD radio and once in awhile I'll check out the "extra stations", but so far
it hasn't quite caught fire. Supposedly more HD in vehicles but I don't know how many people
are running out to the stores to buy a portable, component, or car HD radio.

HD has been one option, though, in a couple cases where college stations have been bumped
off to make room for classical or rock (San Fran area, R.I.). "Yeah, WCRB took over our
frequency but you can still hear us online, or on (echo chamber) H...D...radio! (/ echo chamber).

And the college students whose alternative rock has been sent off to an HD channel run out
to buy one. Right away! :)

>> (2011):WGBH’s all-classical service will begin airing over WJMF’s FM frequency in August. The student radio station will be moved to an HD-2 channel and will continue to broadcast online.
As you may have heard, WJMF will no longer be 88.7, but rather be an HD-2 channel off of 88.7 acquired by WGBH. What does this mean for our listeners? Although we are losing our fm dial position, we will be available on HD radio

With a decently selective receiver and narrow filters, I used to be able to hear KDKA in Waltham at night. Not especially well, to be sure, but it was there.
