Analog format[edit]

Only 2,000 of the 13,000 analog AM/FM radio stations in the U.S. have converted to HD; of those that have converted, all still broadcast via analog as mandated by the FCC. Moreoever, the first HD channel of every HD Radio station is a simulcast of the analog signal -- again, as mandated by the FCC.[1]
239 million analog radio listeners in the U.S. vs. only 3 million HD Radio units. By far, analog is still the preferred choice among radio consumers.[2]
Clearly, the infobox should reflect that analog technology is still the dominant form of transmission. It's also no secret that the radio industry has been heavily promoting HD Radio; by including only the HD Radio formats, one begins to question the credibility of this article's content. Wikipedia is an encyclopedic endeavor, not a brochure for iBiquity. Levdr1 (talk) 20:28, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clarifying WQAL's early history[edit]

The station's years as WCJW should be straightened out, corrected and properly sourced (I was the one who made most of the edits). The details of their sale by Storer Broadcasting to SJR were also added to the article for WIP-FM, as it was a package deal for the two stations.
