Just a heads up, the RSL game on KALL is also on KJMY HD-2.
Also, why doesn't Clear Channel know how to program their HD signals to display properly.
99.5 identifies itself as "HD-FM" as did KOSY when it was still working. Their RDS has disappeared too. I recall 99.1 having RDS, but none as of right now. KZHT shows its call sign!
What good does showing the call sign as HD-FM do?
Again, to 95% of you, this shouldn't matter, which is my reasoning behind CC's decisions. Nobody cares what it says, just as long as it (HD)s working. If I was the engineer, I'd want it to work and display correctly.

Actually the RSL game is on 570 and 99.5HD-2 and 105.7HD-2 (and probably 99.1 too). I wonder why they are using up 4 diffent signals for this. I miss the oldies that were on 105.7HD-2 up until about a week ago. Now they have 570 on 2 HD channels plus 99.1 . The RSL game is also being televised on 2.2 .
KALL 700 is carrying the U of U football game. And it's televised on some channel that I can't get!

My feeling is that if you're going to do it, then do it right. If the RDS isn't set up correctly or being used in a way that makes a difference to anyone, just disconnect it and sell it. "HD-FM" is useless. Doubly so if it's on multiple stations. Could that be the default for a certain brand of encoder?
Is Freedom 570 on both 99.5/2 AND 105.7/2 full time? That's off the end of the stupid chart.
The U football game is on CBS College Sports. Do you have cable/satellite Terry?

I could have sworn the guy said here on KALL 700 on KJMY HD-2, but yeah, your right, it is a rebroadcast of 570 as always.

Yep, 570 is on 99.5/2 and 105.7/2 full time.
I have Comcast but didn't want to pay for the extra "tier" that has CBS College Sports. If I weren't addicted to Fox News I'd drop the cable altogether.

Do you get "The Mtn" on Comcast? I am getting cable soon so I hope I can see some U games.

Okay, today KJMY was showing artist - title information but still says HD-FM (and on my other radio HD-HD1).
Fixing the title/artist was a start, now add the call sign and you're good to go. I'm guessing its not too hard to program the call letters into the little HD Box on the rack.

Terry, you don't get any of the digital channels?

I have Comcast's "Starter Cable Tier" plus an HD box, but not the "Digital Classic Tier".

Ah. The "almost not even worth the bother tier". <g>
Ok, that isn't fair. There's some good stuff there.
