I am so confused...

So Detroit News Now will be on WKBD? Will they have two to three broadcasts a day or will they be on a subchannel full time? And CBS 62 will also have a news broadcast? Will that be on a subchannel or what. Why would CBS local news be on two different stations? https://www.newscaststudio.com/2022/07...

Re: Unused AM allocations

Not sure if you know this but CBEF moved from 540 to 1550 in November 2012. Per Wikipedia "The change was requested due to concerns that rust may be affecting the now-obsolete 540 facility, and that nearby hydro electric lines were also affecting its signal". CBE (CBC Radio 1) was on 1550 and they m...

Re: Put up a 5 ele FM beam feeding a Sony XDR-F1HD

Why couldn't Sony release a quality radio (with mods) like the XDR-F1HD for general distribution? And then tweak the AM section with Noise Blankers and CQUAM stereo and, provided the radio didn't melt down from heat, they could be selling these to people who actually care about radio, so why not ma...

Re: Praise for the FM RX with my CCradio 3

They're a nice radio. I've never had the pleasure of trying one. I have so many radios already it' would be hard to justify getting one more. Is this too many? I have a Flex-6400 ham SDR and a Kenwood stereo hooked up to it for the audio out, 4 HT's (DMR, FM only, Fusion and D-Star), a CCradio 3, S...

Re: Now IHM Wants To Own ALL The AM Stations!

And yet every single radio in every vehicle in the USA and Canada has an FM radio that goes from 88-108. How many people would buy new radios for their vehicles?

Praise for the FM RX with my CCradio 3

The CCradio3 has an amazing FM receiver. I can listen to CBC Radio 1, CBEW, running 2.3 - 13K ERP 27 miles south of me. Now that does not really sound that remarkable right? Well right below it is WXYT, 97.1 which is in HDRadio, is 3 miles away and running 15K ERP. Right above it is WJLB, 97.9 which...

Re: 2022 Statewide predictions

I am curious why you think that 98.7 will become WWJ-FM? Do you have some "insight" into this? What format would it be?

WUOM transmitter issues?

I live in Royal Oak and have a Sangean HDR-16 that I keep in our bedroom to use as a clock radio to wakeup to WUOM daily. It received WUOM very well until recently with no issues. Lately I have been having a lot of problems getting it to come in no matter how I position the antenna. Does anyone know...
