[BC] ABC/Citadel To Suspend IBOC on AM Stations?

[Craig Bowman]

Funny you should mention this.  My first late night / early morning
drive was from my home near Flint, MI to Luddington, MI.  I was
listening to WJR and it was nearly un-listenable in Lansing!  My wife
commented on the static and I mentioned that it would be nothing
compared to this....and WABC was clear as a bell.  Apparently WABC was
running the Virus and WJR was not.  So, 50 miles from the 50kW great
voice of the great lakes I had to listen to WABC.
