[BC] Monitoring IBUZ Secondaries - NOT

[Kent Winrich]

OK so that happened to ONE station.  So?  Life goes on Rich.

I listen to HD2 stations quite often and never once here a repeated song.

Basing the HD rollout on one station... well I would question your
statistics.

By the way, you put up words about what would happen to WGN versus WGCI, if
WGN went HD.  Shall we chat about that situation?  Looks like it blew up in
your face Rich.

Have a nice day.
