That's nice. Would profit pressed pennypinchers keep that light on if it
weren't required by the insurance company or the government?


Citadel turned of HD on a couple of AMs which were interfering at night,

That's odd. I had the impression that IBOC interference had no
significant effect beyond the FCC protected contour.

I'd expect there was a significant reason for turning the noisemakers off
at night, as the costs of cycling the IBOC transmitters would be more
than the costs of the electricity. That is, if they intend to repair
them as they break down.
