WODS and WBMX; when IBOC?

M

mgpt6

I was wondering when CBS owned WODS and WBMX will turn on their IBOC signals. They did plan to do so ,but it has been a year or more since their Pru stations went on. Is it because those 2 FM s on located on FM-128 tower? WBUR and WKLB (formerly WCRB) are there and they are IBOC.

I don't see why the tower location would have anything to do with it. WJMN is there with HD also.
 
Wild ass guess here...but IIRC the amount of physical space in the transmitter rooms for at least one, possibly all, of the Needham towers is pretty scarce. That might explain the delay?
 
The really weird thing is that there is a picture of WBMX's uninstalled HD transmitter on bostonradio.org. It was delivered in 2005.
 
I seem to recall the issue involves the ERI master antenna for WBMX, not sure about WODS who are on their own Jampro. WBUR is on their own directional
that was recently replaced. Jam'n may be using their auxiliary antenna for the IBOC signal as they do on the Pru with Kiss 108
