Regional Stations Add HD Radio
The Seattle Times reports on smaller stations adding digital signals: The Washington State round-up notes that KRKO in burgeoning Snohomish County north of Seattle--and increasingly populous suburb/exurb region--will add HD Radio to its AM offering. This is one of the few stations in the country to opt for it. The timing is coincident with an upgrade to its analog signal from 5,000 to 50,000 watts. AM radio could see a big boost from HD Radio, with signals not just being much higher fidelity, but with the typical woo-woo sounds of AM and the loss in tunnels and under bridges disappearing as problems. AM has a harder sell on the costs, though, since multiple channels aren't possible.
