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. |

There is no ABC radio; Citadel bought the ABC stations and operates the network with rights to the name. |

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. |

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. |
