Does HD Radio still have a chance?

I'm looking at this from a business standpoint. Does it cost a great deal extra for manufacturers to add it to a radio. Why are there so many radio stations that are not interested in it. For a listener in the Greater Toronto Area there is somewhere around 8 or 9 extra ethnic radio stations that are...

Re: Broadcasters: Fulltime Daylight-Saving Time Could Kill Some AM Stns.

Here are the Michigan stations alone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Daytime-only_radio_stations_in_Michigan This will be a problem for 660 WMIC. The translator on 95.3 doesn't go very far outside of Sandusky and WFAN New York causes interference after they sign on in the morning in parts WM...

Re: WLLZ Applies To Move To Diplex With WDET

Could this be a temporary move so that they can do some work on the existing transmitter site?

Both 93.1 and 106.7 FM and up in the March PPM's

WDRQ went from a 2.0 to a 2.7
WLLZ now has a 2.5

Hot AC WDVD and Public NPR affiliate WDET both fell this time.

Sounds like Cuba's Radio Progreso based on what's listed in the 2022 WRTH and this link.

Re: WLLZ

Just a thought ; 106.7 WLLZ could keep the Wheelz name and move to a Rock leaning Classic Hits playlist of mostly 90's music with some 80's and 2000's thrown in. If they stay with what they have right now their ratings will not recover. The recent Detroit PPM list shows how most of the FM's are up f...

Re: Unused AM allocations

If 560 WRDT and 580 CKWW entered an agreement where CKWW moved down to 540 and WRDT moved up to 580 then they both could improve their signals. They would no longer be second adjacent to each other and WRDT would no longer be required to decrease power at night. If 540 were to use 2,500 watts again,...

Re: 950 WWJ is broadcasting in HD again

I'd rather see them make AM 1270 a 100% digital simulcast of 950 WWJ. I think WXYT (AM) has something like a 0.1 share right now.

N. America AM Ground Conductivity Map

A good portion of S.W. Ontario is actually a 20. The Canadian shield up north is only about a 2. I like how they included Canada, Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii instead just focusing on the lower 48 states.
