WTIC-FM HD-3? other HD notes...

DJKraze

DJKraze

Haven't noticed this before, seems to be the same feed as HD-2, but a little ahead of it. Is this used for games or something?

I'm thinking I did something wrong to my antenna as I don't see as much DX as I have before and I'm also noting the following:
WWYZ HD-2 gone?
No HD on WMRQ?
No HD on WCCC-FM
However, I am getting WFCR HD 1 & 2, which I did before, but have had trouble for a while, and WHYN HD-1 (not seeing anything -2 or above)

you cannot get 1 hd station in Danbury... let alone near midtowns WCSU you can;t really get much radio at all
 
Actually, Jamie....105.5 is apparently an HD signal...one of the few signals Cumulus upgraded a few years back....Just HD-1...no extra channels...Should be clear as a bell at WCSU.

WCCC dumped their HD over the summer due to budget cuts.

That's too bad. Hartford loses its only full-time classical signal.

WWYZ's HD-2 has been MIA for a while now -- again, country oldies are not available anywhere else in the market -- but the HD-2s on 95.7 (gay-oriented music) and 101.3 (dance) seem to be working fine. Might be a technical issue rather than recession-related.

It's really not that bad, when you consider hardly anybody has an "HD radio".

True, but for those who do have one and enjoy those niche formats, it now means either satellite radio, Internet radio (goodbye, listening in the car) or no radio at all.
 
_I_ have an HD radio and I was looking towards getting that portable Insignia HD radio mentioned elsewhere here.
 
I have three HD radios. I know about a dozen people who are non broadcast people who have them too.
Especially people who are more well off would have several to listen to classical music via the HD2.
 
I hope the Danbury market STAYS HD-Free. Currently Cumulus' WRKI and its sister stations WDBY(Patterson, NY) and WINE, Berkshire's WDAQ, WLAD and WREF remain HD-Free and to tell you the truth it's a joy. Saves me the trouble of locking out the HD switching on my HD radios every time I tune to a station running that iBiquity farce.
 
Peter , the chief engineer, reads these boards and posts on them on a regular basis so he will have the definitive answer, but WDBY hasn't filed a digital notification to the FCC and last I knew, they were strictly analog.
 
WEBE is HD, WDBY is not. Pete can speak about that if he wishes as was stated above. I don't know how much influence Pete has on the situation but I can say that although WEBE is Cumulus-owned, they employ two different CE's.
 
So it having a 7 second delay has nothing to do with it being HD?
