WYOK..

Did they kill their IBOC stream? I noticed no IBOC lock on them lately. I wonder if IBOC is dying in the first place? Sounded like a good idea but, not everyone is in range nor can afford the radios.

It's been off for a couple of weeks. Shame, too, since it was one of the best HD signals in the area and ran no subchannels. I hope they turn it back on soon.

HD in this area is a shambles. 107.3-2 is off again, 101.5-2 is on but running static in one channel, 104.1 is off. Then the CC stations (99.9, 94.9 and 96.1) and fade in and out on the -1 channels even though the signal is strong. Some sort of glitch, I guess, since it doesn't affect the -2's at all. And WUWF's HD won't decode at all on my main HD radio despite a strong signal. Something about the bug in their encoder that they can't fix.
 
Time to put HD to rest. The 15 minutes of fame is over.

It's certainly of little use if they're not running a subchannel, which none of the Cumulus stations do, I don't think. WYOK could easily have an all 80's or all oldies HD-2 to compliment the variety hits of the Jack-FM format. But that would require forethought and sticking a computer in a closet, which is too difficult for today's radio corporations.

HD-2 plus a stream on the station's website would help attract more office and on the go listening, I think. But that's just me and I don't hafta pay those big bills. ;)
