The True Oldies Channel has returned to HD
- Thread starter MichaelD1972
- Start date
Most radio formats have brakes for commercials and a station ID. Starting at the top of the hour after the station ID, usually there is 15 or 20 minutes of music then a commercial break then after the commercial break 3 or 4 songs then a break of commercials. So on till on the top of the hour for station ID.
Instead of streaming a "live" program, each segment is recorded the sent over the internet to the affiliates. You start your "live" program 20 or 30 minutes early early. The affiliates get the segment in a file via the email. The stations computer plays the segment at the "correct" time depending on the time zone the station is located.

It's kind of the digital equivalent of tape delay, and yes, it is technically possible.
And did he EVER!
I wonder why that is? Both WINS-FM and WCBS-FM have their transmitters on the Empire State Building. WINS-FM is 6,000 watts at 1,362 feet. WCBS-FM is 6,700 watts at 1,339 feet. There's virtually no difference between the two signals. WINS-FM is a little higher on the tower. WCBS-FM has slightly higher power. They're both full-power Class B signals.
However, there is a 101.1 in Philadelphia, WBEB, also owned by Audacy. So if you live in Western New Jersey, Central New Jersey or along the Jersey Shore, you might get interference from WBEB on 101.1. 92.3 doesn't have that problem. Philadelphia has a 92.5 but that wouldn't hurt the WINS-FM signal.
Higher HD power level and higher bitrate? Something as small as 6kbs could make a difference in audio quality.
Plus, if he can hear 92.3 better/farther than 101... im going to guess hes somewhere west of NYc.. if he was east, 101.1 would run into WKCI and 92.3 would run into WWYZ
So distance from same or adjacent channels may help too
Robby Bridges?
I'm on the South Shore of Long Island (just west of the Suffolk Country border). Once you go North on Route 110, you start losing the HD2-4 signals and forget it once you go north of the LIE.
