[BC] Live on HD-2 or HD-3?

[Robert Meuser]

Z100 is to a degree. While the programming is in the automation system, 
it is produced live and is completely separate from the main channel. 
They are playing New Music with a separate jock. They do count downs 
from time to time, etc. It is one of the better HD2 channels in this 
area. The other CC stations are jockless WAXQ and WLTW have really poor 
programming on their HD2s and WKTU is country but jockless. WNYC is 
classical and somewhat live on their HD-2.

I will re-scan the band over the holidays if anyone wants a full rundown 
of the HD2 (and HD3) signals in the market.
