WFAE HD2 has picked up the traditional Jazz format abandoned by South Carolina ETV's WNSC 88.9. WXPN Philadelphia's Xponetial Radio format of Adult Alternative Rock that had been on HD2 moves down to WFAE-HD3 and replaces BBC World service. Note the audio quality on HD3 is somewhat less than HD1 and HD2.
I discovered this today while scanning stations on my one HD radio so I have no idea how long the format has been in place on WFAE-HD2. Fans of traditional Jazz music should know that decent Stereo HD Radios can now be found at retailers such as Best Buy and Radio Shack.
The big question is: will HD radio catch on or go the way of AM Stereo? Only time will tell. Many NPR stations were quick to start broadcasting in HD with multiple formats including WFAE. WFAE is the only Charlotte FM right now using 3 separate streams.
