Is jack now running their IBOC?

P

I'm not sure what to listen for to tell if a station is running their IBOC; But I heard a liner on Jack saying something like if you don't have one of those car stereos where you can see what we are playing buy a new car or something.

They seem to be talking about RDS.

Quick way to tell whether a station's running IBOC: Tune a digital radio to the adjacent frequencies. (in Jack's case, 96.1 and 96.5)

If the station is *not* IBOC, you'll hear adjacent-channel splatter from their analog signal. If they *are* IBOC you'll hear noise. (as if the frequency was completely empty)

For example, compare 105.7 (vs. WNRQ-IBOC) to 97.7. (WSIX)

I'm hearing analog splatter on 96.1 and 96.5.
