Music on KKGO-FM HD-4

- Start date
just alot in and out but should get over time...slogan say lightfm is back on KKGO HD4
So I guess this is what we were all talking about six weeks ago:

IIRC most folks theorized it was going to be some kind of service of KKGO. I guess we didn't expect it to be HD-4. I wasn't aware stations could do HD-4.

You can have up to eight "stations" squeezed onto one frequency. Four is the most I've ever seen any station do.
It's all about the quality. HD has a finite bandwidth, and it can be all given to the analog signal's content, or divided into 2, 3, 4 or more chunks. Each piece can be assigned a certain percentage of the bandwidth. And pieces can also be used for data, such as real time traffic reports. If you divide it too much, some of the pieces start sounding like an AM station....
LEVINE/SCHWAB PARTNERSHIP have filed for an FM translator in San Fernando on 105.5. Looks like it will carry AM1500 when it goes on the air.
Had hoped it would it would carry KSUR which is listenable due to co-channel interference in most of the valley.
105.5 most likely will not be much better.
Too bad 94.3 is gone, once was KGIL-FM.

Site down.
Already KBUE has filed a petition to deny due to interference issues. Sooooooo, the application has been amended to lower power to 7 watts. Looks like the antenna will be located at the KROQ site.
The current application is at Mt. Lukens for this FM translator.
I was driving the car with the HD radio today (my newer car, a Toyota, doesn't have it). I was fooling around with the HD and saw 4 channels on 105.1. The main and HD-2 and HD-3 were various forms of country, and the HD-4 was mostly older pop and soul (sort of like what the KTWV currently plays)
Audio quality was a bit worse than Sirius XM. If some station ran all eight HD channels, what would they sound like? Telephone quality? Two-way radio?
I tried a few other stations:
93.1 (Jack FM) had some sort of music format, I forget what it was....
94.7 (KTWV the Wave) played "smooth jazz" (the original KTWV format)
101.1 (KRTH) had KNX news and a music format (not the 50s oldies it used to have)
107.5 (KLVE) had two signals. One in Armenian, the other in (I think) Farsi... (the Korean station is gone)
I didn't get a chance to see if the Mormon format on 100.3 survived the sale to EMF, though....

It did not. 100.3 HD2 is Air 1
Litefmla.com is now live
Not exactly. That's a placeholder that identifies IIS7, a web server, where the site may at some point live.
That's because, as I said, it's a placeholder site from a web server. There is no content.
If you register a domain, and you get a package that includes hosting, this is what appears until you load your site.
FYI - The Mormon channel didn't survive the Entercom purchase. It left when Bonneville sold 100.3.
