FCC Unanimous In Approval Of HD Radio Rules
With a 5-0 vote, FCC commissioners approved regulations that allow broadcasters to begin HD multicasting without prior approval from the commission. In addition, AM stations, which are currently limited to daytime-only HD operation, will be allowed to go digital at night. The vote occurred at the commission's regularly scheduled monthly meeting on March 22.

For their next number, the FCC approves regulations stating any NAB member may change any term or condition of their FCC license with a bottle of white-out and a crayon.
Translators are a Pox on the FM radio dial.

I don't get it. If an AM station is not allow allowed to run a carrier at night, how can it broadcast anything, digital or not?In addition, AM stations, which are currently limited to daytime-only HD operation, will be allowed to go digital at night.
Perhaps I don't understand digital broadcasting like I thought I did.
In His service,

I think if they have nighttime authority they wern't allowed to do HD for interference reasons. Now they can. Talk about gettin' a buzz on!I don't get it. If an AM station is not allow allowed to run a carrier at night, how can it broadcast anything, digital or not?

That will be the next priority. NPR, NAB, CC, and CBS are pushing for it right now. Real world coverage is not what was predicted. As for AM, skywave is as good as dead. In some cases you will have low power nigh timers that will be un-listenable even in their city of license. This is a huge blow to the AM band.K-Rock wrote:Ok... So now HD radios are not completely worthless in WV... At least with nighttime AM.
What about increasing the power of the IBOC carrier on FM?

Guvment-approved interference.
Fire up the buzz-saws, boys.
It's time to kill the AM band!
WOOOOOOO!!!
You know what else this marks the re-birth of?????
C-Quam AM Stereo. That's right, kids. C-Quam AM Stereo is what the IBOC AM radios blend-down to on the fringe of the IBOC digital signal.
The Commission has chosen the path marked, "Irony".
