HD2 channels disappeared from several FM stations

I am guessing that, because of the excess licensing costs for HD channels beyond HD1, broadcasters are turning off HD2’s that drive no revenue — especially those not feeding a translator. Over the past few months 93.9 WLIT and 107.5 WGCI have pared down to just HD1, and although I can’t lock HD from 100.3 WSHE tonight I *think* they dumped HD2. In the past 96.7 WSSR Joliet dropped HD2 which had 1340 WJOL. Are these HD2’s disappearing in any surrounding markets too? I know that Milwaukee, Detroit and Indy have (or had) some, but there are no listings that can be trusted as up-to-date to check.
