What now for KCBS-FM HD2?

With Amp Radio replacing Hot Talk on KLSX, what has replaced Amp's spot on the HD2 KCBS-FM (Jack FM) feed? Or is it a simulcast of Amp Radio there for now? I can't seem to find anything about this online. Any info would be most appreciated.
 
Are HD stations making any inroads in the ratings? Are they picked up via PPM? How did CBS use HD to "tinker" with AMP radio before putting in on the mainstream FM band? Based on what feedback did they adjust AMP on HD?
 
Honestly, what difference does it make? Exactly who is listening?

The next person that tells me about what they heard on an HD radio outside of this board will be the first. I am generally an early adopter of all things radio and music, but even I haven't got one - and am not pining for one either.

HD radio's best use has just been identified for all to see - to essentially live test a new station without the problem of actually having to worry about anyone listening. Amp radio was on a stream that reached perhaps dozens of early adapter geeks and miscellaneous internet hounds for months yet was still able to seamlessly move it to the big radio signal when it was fully developed and ready to go live. So there you go - it's best use is a new format development farm. No way it is being monetized for any of the other streams out there, regardless of off-beat format chosen.
