wysp the rock of philadelphia is back on the air...

WIP-HD-3 is now WYSP the rock of Philadelphia, since Jelli ceased Monday, today they went back to using the term they did around 1996. Music changed a bit, more harder Rock and some Hard Alternative but nothing current, past 2005. MyYSP is gone, new liners promoting The Rock of Philadelphia is in place, they sound pretty good if you like Active Rock.
 
But how many people actually have an HD radio receiver? I'm still amazed how this format never got over like television did!

iBiquity's greed and ham-fisted, tone-deaf business strategy pretty much doomed it from the start. Manufacturers don't want to pay to put the necessary chips in each receiver, automakers have lucrative deals with SiriusXM to protect, radio stations want to program HD streams as cheaply as possible. That's a clear lose-lose-lose trifecta to me.
 
About the only thing the iBiquity system is good for is feeding analog translators. If any frequencies could be found in Philly (a tall order!), CBS could put some of these things on the air and feed them with the HD multicast channels on their existing FM stations.
