Re: Star 96.7 Changes, HD2’s going dark, WFAV HD
All of the iHeart stations in Chicago got new HD equipment last summer. Has all new display, audio, everything. At the time WGCK had Dance on HD2. I was never able to pick up WGCI’s HD in the past, but I believe the new equipment has more HD power than before, was was able to catch it a few times when they turned the new stuff on.. The old HD standard was initially around 1-2% of the analog power until they were given the go ahead to bump those up to 5%. 103.5 and 107.5 never did until the new equipment last year. 5% is standard now as far as I know. The industry is actually trying to get the FCC to approve 10% power for HD. That will wreck havoc on analog adjacents. 5% is bad enough.
