Default ABC pulls plug on nightime IBOC

From QRZ.COM:

As of October 2, Citadel Broadcasting, the parent company of ABC Radio
network, has instructed all 10 of its AM affiliates who had already
converted to IBOC, to cease night time use of the digitial modulation
scheme, citing many complaints from listeners. Some complaints came from
listeners OF the IBOC-modulated stations, while others came from listeners
of adjacent channel stations, that were being interferred with due to the
IBOC bandwidth. Citadel Director of Engineering Marty Stabbert, in a memo
to his staff said, ""In response to the lackluster performance, the limited
benefit and various reports of significant interference, Citadel is
suspending nighttime AM HD operations at this time. Please reinstate your
previous procedures for daytime-only HD operation as soon as possible."
Stabbert says he will attempt to work with Ibiquity, the company that
developed the wide-band digital AM modulation scheme to see if there is a
way to overcome the many problems encountered. Daytime IBOC for the ABC
network affiliates is not affected at this time.


I can listen to KKOH again.

KOGO still sounds like crap at night though.

Yea, let's see iNiquity change the laws of phicics! the analog carries
have already been reduced to 5kHz, so LOL! Let the AM-HDs choke on
their own vomit!

ABC & Citadel are much more intelligent broadcasters than are the folks at
Univision Radio.


There is no ABC radio; Citadel bought the ABC stations and operates the
network with rights to the name.- Hide quoted text -

When these cracks begin appearing in the iNiquity facade, I worry
about the psychological impact on Tardo. He's just insecure and
fragile enough that this could push him over the edge. Someone's apt
to find him coiled up in a dark closet at Univision, slobbering all
over himself and masturbating to a photograph of Bob Orban.- Hide quoted text -

I'de rather be masturbating to a picture of Beverly Mitchell - have
only been able to find a nipple-shot of her, although a topless
picture of her a while ago disappeared. Nice titties!

Discovery channel tomorrow, I am going to tune in.That will make the
third time since the first one last night.

I wonder, if Struble is going to start becoming an obsessive
masturbator too, with the arrival of this bad news?

Is that bad news for Eduardo?


Just getting up in the morning and having to fake it through another day
is bad
news for 'Eduardo'.


It's not good or bad news. It is one company which wants to further study
and maybe request modifications of night HD. What the bad news is has to do
with the declining and ageing listenership of AM... HD was a hope that had a
slim chance of reversing this.


You know Goddamn well this is bad news, because others surely will
follow - there is NOTHING iNiquity can do to change the laws of
physics - if ther ewas, something would have been done before Sept.
14th.
