98.1 KUDL in Kansas City is simulcasting 980 KMBZ-AM,on their HD-3 another Entercom stick. This approach makes a lot of sense as AM radio dies a writhing static and bleeding noise filled death. On their HD-2 is 1660 KXTR-AM, a classical station.More here.
In Los Angeles 95.1 KFRG is simulcast on the HD-2 channel of 94.7 KTWV. Interestingly
enough, Mt. Wilson FM Broadcasters owners of 105.1 KKGO asked the FCC to rule on that Viacom’s arrangement. the suggest that these simulcasts violate the FCC’s multiple ownership rules. I doubt very much this is a total simulcast, its probably a goulash of WFAN programming with local ads inserted.
In an interesting variation 660 WFAN-AM in New York is simulcast on the HD channels of three stations in Florida. In Orlando, HD-3 on 105.9 WOCL HD-3, in Tampa,on the HD-3 of 94.1 WLLD HD3 (94.1) in Tampa and in West Palm Beach the HD-3 channel of 104.3 WEAT. More here.
Most recently daytimer 820 WSWI-AM the University of Southern Indiana’s college station has begun simulcasting on the HD-2 channel 90.7 WPSR a 14,000 watt high school station. More here. I'll note now that this is the first case of a college station simulcasting on an HD channel at another station.
