What's up with Hot 103-5?

[RollTide]

I've been holding off on posting this for a few days thinking it'll be fixed by now, but it's been 2 weeks and it hasen't been fixed yet so here goes. What is up with the shaky, echoing sound in Huntsville's Hot 103-5's signal? I don't know that I've ever heard a station have this problem before. It's hard to explain how it sounds but you can hear it better on slow songs than on fast songs. It's a very odd distorted and shaky sound and it's a bad time to start having sound problems the same time you finally get billboards up all over town. I haven't been able to listen to the station for two weeks because the distortion hurts my ears to hear it! I know it's not just my radio because no other station sounds like that and I get the same sound from Hot 103-5 no matter what radio I'm listening on, plus I've heard others mention it as well. What's up? Anyone in the building over there that can give some info?

Two questions I'm Asking:

1. Did the noise sound like a spinning circle?
2. Was their any hisses and/or distortions in the singer(s) voice?

If so I know what you're talking about. Why a radio station does this, however, is beyond me. When a radio station adds these things, it ticks me off and I find something else to listen to.  It's sad when there's a hum in the background.  To add noise of any kind, is an insult to an already bad sounding radio station.

Interesting. I haven't listen to the station in a while. Just isn't the main genre I listen to.

If they still have this problem then it definitely need to be resolved as soon as possible. They can't afford to lose listeners back to WEUP this early in the game.

No hissing, but there is distortion. Not distortion in that the voices sounds different from their normal like it's been slowed down or sped up, but distortion in that is sounds like someone is shaking the singer while they are trying to sing, only you can hear it in the instrumental of the song as well. I've never heard it explained like a spinning circle before but it does have this whirling shaking sound. I guess "spinning circle" is some-what fitting of a description. It's not just on some songs though, it's on EVERY song, even during the morning show. I agree though that is this is intentional it is the WRONG move to make. It sounds annoying and I can't listen to it, and I know others who agree.

I agree. The problem is still there and has been there for 2 weeks now! It's especially bad that it started right about the same time all their billboards were put up all around town. I hope they fix is ASAP because this is hurting them and they can't afford it.
