WGBH-FM Getting Serious About HD

[Shellanswerman]

The Boston Globe's music critic, Richard Dyer, doesn't write about radio very often, but today (04/14) he ran a lengthy column about WGBH-FM's plans for HD radio's 2nd channel. I have a suspicion that WGBH's publicity department sent Mr. Dyer a press release so he would in turn provide this information to the people most affected by it. Read all about it at:

WGBH is putting themselves in a good position. Lots of WCRB listeners will be buying HD radios when WCRB goes away.

I doubt that WCRB will remain on 102.5-2. Isn't that what WTKK-2 is for?
