An unimpeachable internal source at Citadel tells us: the word was
handed down from corporate for stations not to spend anything more on
HD-AM. When iBiquity exciters break down (a frequent occurrence, from
all available information) or require software upgrades, CEs have been
directed to simply turn them off.

Here they go: the first Decepticons to be demounted from their
equipment racks, to be shuttled off to the elephants' graveyard of
decommissioned obsolete equipment - the "ubiquitous" dusty back room
at the transmitter site, populated by grimy ITC cart machines, wire-
line remote control systems, phono preamps, and DOS computer
hardware. Decepticons now face a new future of being cannibalized for
project parts - finally an honest use for whatever components they can
donate.

Citadel has said, don't spend another nickel on HD-AM. WJR has been
analog-only for months

Now, *this is good news - HD hardware scrapped for parts.

So when is the yard sale..I'd buy parts for $1.00

GOt an on-line survey about HD radio;

- asked if I'd pay $200 or more for one

- In the worst economic crisis since The Great Depression

- Hope their ears are still ringing
