WLGD finally emerges from cocoon

passtheword

"Legends 1260" has finally surfaced on the dial, sounds a lot musically like it did right before Crawford "pulled the plug" on it three years ago, leaning more oldies than anything else. The station has been announcing the "new" HD signal, too. I guess they're willing to give the format another try since it's now broadcasting in HD. Of course, they tried the format before using AM stereo, and didn't get anywhere. At least there's one less talk station in Bham (we have too many now), and WLGD will at least have an identity, instead of the zombie existence it had simulcasting "The Source".

I wonder how many baby boomers have invested in the HD radios to actually listen to the station that way? These are people who grew up with top-40 on WVOK and WSGN, etc. On AM, with AM radios.

In fact, does anyone actually own an HD radio at all in Birmingham? I wanted to buy one, then found out I was moving to Miss, and now I'm glad I don't have one. The stations around here can't put a coherent quality signal out in analog; I doubt they could manage or afford digital.

As a side note, I think all or almost all of Crawford's stations in Denver are HD - scanning around the AM dial there is almost impossible without stopping 10khz above or below a station, hearing that awful hash.
