Hi Don, we ahve a few stations doing IBOC on AM in Detroit too. They are
WWJ 950 AM, WCHB 1200 AM & WXYT 1270 AM. All these stations it is hard to
hear anything on the neighboring frequencies. WCHB's FM sisters as it
turns out are in HD Radio. I wonder how IBOC will respond to skip at
night though?
