It's unlikely that WOR 710 will drop HD Radio any time soon. Clear Channel is a big player in the (God forsaken) HD Digital Radio Alliance. They are the cheerleaders for iBiquity and company. Without HD Radio, how could station owners break the rules to get HD-2s and HD-3s on to the legitimate analog FM radio channels? All of this gives me a headache! You should hear my very local WCBS 880 at night at my QTH. I'm only about 40 miles from the transmitter and I hear the digital machine noise under the program audio constantly. A joy to listen to. 'Compatible digital' Sure. Take out the digital noisemakers and the NRSC filters. Let my AM radio go! Karl Zuk N2KZ
