KHTZ a was putting a good signal into Houston earlier this evening, and I can confirm that they still have the same problems with the overdriven audio.

tropo is strong tonight as well....
I'm from Michigan (where he also owns some stations), and of the six stations he owns there, three are silent without an STA (one of them hasn't been on full-time since 2010 (under previous ownership) but managed to get a license renewal in 2012!), another runs automated talk with dead air at times, and the most successful of the bunch is mostly satellite-fed mainstream country. However, the mainstream country station is 100kW in a rated market but is the third country station in its market.I'm no troll and I am a Native Texan...Roy H has been doing this with radio stations for a good while...he bought the Jasper 100.7 for dirt cheap after it went dark, moved the allocation to Winnie and then sold it to what is now Univision for a nice big profit....He has owned 105.3 in Hempstead for a good while and even claimed on HERE it would cover the Woodlands with its small increase a number of years ago...while people with considerable radio experience and knowing the area said NO WAY it will cover..and in the end who was correct? NOT Roy H....having the money and the know-how to help radio is one thing...but thats not him....he would be better off putting his money in the bank and letting someone else try to help the stations OR let them go dark and thin the band out a little...which may help another station or stations upgrade....

How do they have the audio by internet stream? It sounds better but the station is in mono. Could it be in stereo?

While KHTZ's audio did sound a bit low quality at last check, the distortion is now gone. Seems like they might wanna up their stream bitrate.
There are good computer-based processors these stations can install, such as Stereo Tool (http://www.stereotool.com/) and AudioProc (http://www.audioproc.ca). AudioProc is my personal favorite.
Using a computer-based system doesn't produce strange audio artifacts - if one sets the levels properly.

All modern digital processors are CPU controlled anyway....running their own OS or a Linux or other base. If I was going to dedicate a PC to do processing on the air (and using a shared one is just asking for issues), I would run Linux and not Windows..

KHTZ along with the other Texas Mix stations still announce their website on air, telling people to listen live. http://www.texasmix1053.com
The problem is, the listen link has been down for the past couple months at least.
