You know, I didn't even consider the daytime/night time aspect.  I'll 
check it out.

I thought that the FCC just gave the OK to nighttime AM IBOC.  Is that 
not so?  Are the Boston stations not taking advantage of it?

Just a side note, how come only GM seems to be promoting HD.  If you 
look at the websites for the non-GM stations (ie. Entercom and others) 
broadcasting in HD there's nary a mention of HD.  Even WBZ you have to 
dig around for.

Is WRKO not doing  HD?
