So what's changed in the past month?
'BZ has been IBOC for over 2 years, *AND* the delay is still there when 
IBOC is off!  Even when they were on "talk hours delay", the TOH tone 
was on time.
(Speaking of "talk hours" delay, remember before the computer assisted 
"delay catchups", they would run this spacey 
"whawwwwwl...woooooooorrrrrr...weaaaawl" type loop--sometimes 2-3 times 
for long excisions! P=)--this, way back in the days of Guy Mainella, 
when he did political/current events talk.)
Also, I noted WILD-1.090 with IBOC for the first time Tuesday afternoon.
