You will never be able to hear WGN again...!
On September 14, HD radio on the AM band became available at night. HD radio is
a digital transmission that is transmitted adjacent to a station's normal
frequency. In the case of WGN, the conventional anlalog radio that you have
always listened
Interesting response. IF IBOC (AM-HD) survives and IF digital radios are
mandated by the FCC, he's probably right. But those are 2 mighty big IFs!

KAZ,
Right you are. I could understand if IBOC, HD, etc was an improvement.
It isn't. If you go back to the 60s and heard good wide band radios,
stations like KEX had beautiful frequency responce. It sounded Hi Fi. If
AM Stereo would have made it, you would have fantastic audio on AM

Pat, may I disagree with you a bit? I think that stations going to the
internet is NOT the answer if they want to gain listeners. The reason is
that they would never attract the same number of listeners as they do
now. A large station going on the internet will make them a little fish

IBOC will kill AM radio. No doubt about it in my mind.
The thing that you guys have to keep in mind is:
IBOC took time, money and engineering to get here.
IBOC requires that engineers run a better show.
It means less splatter.
It takes continuing resources, energy and money keeping
the process
Bill,
That is not what I meant. I guess I should have explained my comment
better. But it is an addition to their distant listeners, as the memo
from WGN stated, they fell that will be the only way for distant
listeners to continue to receive WGN. Of course many don't see it that
way, including

Colin,
More good points. Like so many, I get Hot under the collar on the
IBOC/HD issue too. It is like a kid saying I want my MTV. But as it
has been stated over and over again, since the people are not going to
buy the radios, IBOC will be a thing of the past. Face it, between the
complaints,
Another angle on this:
Think about how our fathers and grandfathers felt when the
AM dial went from being purely clear channel and trans-continental
broadcasters to local and regional identities - hundreds of stations
dotting the dial - so many so that lots of dxing opportunities were
lost by

My Dear Comrad Colin-
If there are no dollars, then there will be no continuing
commitment. It is that simple.
Not this time around. I believe this is here to stay. BPL received a flack
from just about every group of radio users you can think of, however, it got
passed by the FCC anyhow,
Colin lets modify this a bit.
You know what they say: DXers don't die, they just
SELECTIVE fade away.

Why give iBLOC/HD so much power? HD jamming will kill radio? How? We're
speaking out. Many post on 'anti-iboc' - objective - websites. Our actions,
and
those of radio pundits, analog broadcasters, and concerned listeners have by no
means passed unnoticed.
Wall Street has at last kicked
And everything you hear will be completely controlled
by the North American Union. Thus the reason for BPL. Digital broadcast is
easier to monitor you with, than with analog. (Google: north american union)
I do not mean to be inflammatory -
But...

Colin,
There is a difference with stations going 24 hours and plus more of
them. They were serving the public and they did not cause harmfull
interference as HD Radio does. Sure there was more QRM, but DXing
through QRM of other stations can be done a lot easier. If IBOC survives

One nice thing about Star Choice Satellite service out of Canada. They
offer a great pak of radio stations from across the country from
Victoria to St. Johns. Most are FM, but there are quite a few AMs too.
Like Coast to Coast is carried on two or three of the talk stations. Too
