Os terceiros canais do HD
«WAMU-FM DC has begun airing Bluegrass Country on its third digital channel, WAMU HD-3. The station, formally known as WAMU's Bluegrass Country, will broadcast on-air content currently available exclusively online via Bluegrasscountry.org. (…) " WAMU's HD-2 Channel is currently AAA "Xponential Radio."
RBR observation: WAMU is among 15 or so broadcasters nationwide airing HD-3 formats. Most of them, however, offer NOAA weather or simulcasts of sister AM stations. A further waste of what HD multicasting could be bringing to the table in each market in the way of increased format variety, but give it time. Many stations may end up opting for only one multicast channel (HD-2) - each HD broadcast has 96 kbps to divide up between the main signal and multicasts. Music-intensive stations may wish to keep the sound quality higher than add two more music HD channels» Fonte: RBR News, Volume 23, Issue 199, Jim Carnegie, Thursday Morning October 12th, 2006
