Indicators of format change, radio

[jeyurkon]

HD-2 sub-channel? I've been blissfully ignoring the HD radio transition. Guess I can no more.

The problem with losing WJZL for me is that I would listen to it on my Sylvania combination console. Listening to the smooth jazz took me back in time to when my dad would work on a project in the basement rec-room and listen to an FM jazz station on the Sylvania.

That will be more difficult to do now. I was thinking of getting an AM transmitter for my Majestic 71. Now I guess I've have to get a FM transmitter, along with an HD capable FM receiver, if I want to listen to smooth jazz stations on the Sylvania.

Well, I guess I could listen to it on AM also. The AM receiver section has pretty good fidelity. But if I do that I have to find a place to put the Zenith Wavemagnet antenna. The Sylvania needs an external loop and the Wavemagnet has just the right inductance.

A longshot for SJ might be WSRW, which runs SJ on a HD-2 subchannel, likely commercial free.

Another longshot, WDZH HD-2:
