ABC Citadel turning off AM IBOC

Post by Force Commander »

A speedbump for AM digital: Citadel/ABC halts nighttime IBOC

Citadel/ABC engineering exec Martin Stabbert circulates a memo asking the group's AM stations to suspend nighttime HD Radio transmission until they can do further work with iBiquity to reduce adjacent-channel interference. The FCC allowed nighttime AM digital as of September 14 - and the complaints have mounted up. Citadel/ABC's turnabout affects only nighttime AM operation, whose physics are very different from daytime AM, because of the potential for long-range interference as the sun goes down and the atmosphere cools. There's already a lively discussion on the HD Radio part of the Radio-Info message boards.

There's already a discussion about it on this message board called "AM IBOC- Death to low power night station," including the Citadel announcement.
