The Buffalo HD Radio thread

T

ThePickleReport

I thought I would make a new thread on HD and use it like a running blog of sorts for people to post their thoughts on Buffalo HD Radio. I bought a radio last Monday (a Sony XDR-F1HD tuner). I'm a bit of a tech junkie I also subscribe to Sirius (I have one at home and one in the car). I wanted to see if the HD hype actually delivered.

Yesterday (July 27) was the first day I noticed that WBFO-2 was finally on the air running the WXPN/Philaedlphia "Xponential" AAA format feed. If you have ever heard the program "World Cafe" it's just a long form version of that with no voice tracks, just a few liners. Sounds good. I noticed the carrier for WBFO-3 was on as well over the weekend, and last night they were playing different music than the WBFO main channel and now it is simulcastig WBFO.

I didn't know until this morning that WNED-2 is actually a simulcast of the programming of WNED-AM, which is supposed to be broadcasting in HD at some point.

As someone mentioned in the WBUF-HD thread, Regent is mailing it in by simulcasting thir main channels. Tsk-tsk.

Thoughts or comments from anyone before I ramble on?

WNED-AM will most likely not go HD. At least until the mess that is happening is cleared up, if ever.

We've passed that info along to IBiquity, but they still list us as "coming soon".

Thanks for the tip. I suppose it makes more sense just to have WNED-AM on the FM HD channel anyway. Sounds great.
