[BC] NYC IBUZ on 660-880

[Stan Tacker]

Nope.  Sorry Rich, that was a type-o.  It wasn't my station transmitting the
IBOC, but an ABC station in the market.

To be honest, when I discovered that they were running IBOC and that it
sounded so bad (on an analog receiver), my first reaction was to laugh with
relief.

Don't forget there was a "get suckered now and pay less" offer before 
the full price goes/went into effect. I suppose some stations bought 
it early to save money. You can patch it out and put it back next 
week when the market is flooded with receivers. Remember, there's a 
revolution going on.

Did anyone call to complain about your analog audio during those few weeks?
