Rush and talk to WKOX 1430?

Hopefully...the HD radio site by the way lists WNNW, the AM 800 in Lawrence
as running HD along with WBZ, WMKI and WKOX. So if so that will be now be
slightly inaccurate. I have heard WMKI does indeed run HD and if they go to
a talk or business news format maybe they'd shut it down, too.

While I do have a portable HD radio it's strictly FM, with some AM stations
available as subchannels (WBZ, WXKS, WRKO). It isn't an "AM-HD" and "FM-HD"
radio so I have no way of knowing if the actual AM signals are running HD
or not.

Not really the same thing but don't some talk and sports stations run in
mono, not stereo--maybe to slightly help the signal in some areas? WEEI-FM
is in mono and for years talk station WNIR in Kent/Akron OH has run mono.
Why bother with stereo on a spoken word format? (Note: I just checked my
stereo receiver and it appears WGBH, WBUR-FM and WEEI-FM all are in mono;
no stereo "light"...)
