WXKS-AM Starts IBOC Transmission

S

I don't know exactly when they started, but WXKS-AM 1430 has begun broadcasting in IBOC HD (Stereo?). The sound quality of WXKS-AM itself remains about the same (not true of WBZ-AM or WMKI-AM) but hash can be heard over WVEI-AM 1440 Worcester and WNBP-AM 1450 Newburyport. This means that someone living half-way between Wellington Circle and Ferry St. Salisbury...let's say in, um, oh I don't know, Rowley, yeah that's it...who previously could expect to pick up WNBP unencumbered may have to listen to it through IBOC hash.

I'd guess that (in the daytime) it may also affect people in Boston neighborhoods and nearby suburbs trying to listen to Spanish programming on WMSX 1410 Brockton.
