Yes,
another waste of valuable spectrum space. In addition, KLOU’s
Stereo separation, which had been excellent before this digital fiasco, is
virtually non-existent with the digital signal superimposed. It’s just another
example of a radio station ignoring the demands of the public, and going for a
market that doesn’t exist.
