KTAR/Beck

Noticing that the playbeack of "The Glenn Beck" program seems to contain many "glitches" lately. Sounds like bad edits in the middle of sentences, or like it was recorded badly. Is this common?
 
Indeed. The audio quality sounds as if it is being taken from ISDN/internet as opposed to satellite. I actually noticed this with ClearChannel as well several months ago... apparently their recordings of Rush/Sean and on the sports side SAS/Patrick/Rome were all sounding horrible... in the case of XTRA 910, there is absolutely ZERO reason to tape-delay those shows, that's TEN HOURS (counting the tape delayed JT hour) of horrible quality audio they had there for awhile. I notice that it was fixed, perhaps a new motherboard/hard drive in the computer used to record the shows--maybe the CC suits finally upgraded to Windows 2000.
 
I don't have any problem with Beck, but I tend to tune out from 12 - 3 because his program gets "too religious" sometimes. I usually listen mostly between 1am and 12pm, then again from 3 to 7. Not that any of the shows are bad, but those are just my favorite times during the weekdays.

Are we out of sunfade season yet? (sun lines up between the dish and satellite and wipes out the dish feed) On the old analog satellite, you'd get static. On the digital satellites you get glitches & holes in the audio. It happens twice a year around the equinoxes. In Phoenix, it happens during the midday.
