[mrtexmex2007]

I dont have an hd radio but I was on this website www.clearchannelmusic.com/hdradio a page where you can see a list of all the hd station for clear channel. Its seems they have removed klol hd2 in dep news! Anybody knows what happend? Are they getting ready or did they already sale the station?

They took that down from the CC webpage last year. Keep up with the program.

KLOL is still broadcasting in HD (KTRH on HD2) with AMFM Texas owning the License to broadcast. (And I know you will ask "who is AMFM", so here is the answer; AMFM in other words is Clearchannel)

KTRH, accordiing to some sources here in the Houston Radio Board, will soon go Digital itself, thus making KLOL-HD2 useless.

Not really.......You still can get better building penetration with HD-2 on FM than HD on AM.......950 is running the buzzsaw now.....I am surprised as I didnt notice any audio difference in analog....but the digital sidebands can be heard.....funny thing is my 99 Blazer with its Delphi radio, doesnt hear the buzz on 960 and I can hear the Cajun station there while in Beaumont...yet a Ford Escape's radio gets clobbered! Hmmmmm

I really doubt CC will leave both KTRH-HD and KLOL-HD2 running the same feed. Once KTRH-HD goes up, I can bet you half a penny KLOL-HD2 will come down.

Funny thing you mention that because I was recently scanning through the AM dial not really far from KPRC-AM Transmitter, and I'm not playing when I say this, Univision's Suburban KRTX is unlistenable throughout the North-Northeast-East part of town. All I hear is a Digital splatter on the frequencies of 960, 970, and 980. It may be my cheap radio, but I bet I'm not the only one hearing that IBOC buzz.

KPRC's audio has been much more crunched since they launched IBOC...but on a lot of car radios you can't tell the difference because the audio response on them is so narrow. For instance, on my wife's car radio, I didn't hear any difference, but on some older AM receivers the difference was quite dramatic. Same thing with KBME and KMIC.

The narrow audio response on newer car radios doesn't mean they are poor receivers...my wife's car radio has excellent sensitivity and selectivity on AM...but the audio is terrible for music, and talk radio sounds crunched as well.
