Cover Story:
Bob Struble, President & CEO, iBiquity |
iBiquity is remarkable with updating new developments in HD Radio as they happen, such as the growing expansion into the automotive arena and the recent release of portable devices, but as Struble said at the outset of our conversation, “My concern is that we haven’t taken enough time to go over the big picture and show how this all fits together. What’s the good, the bad and the indifferent?”

MODERN ROCK:
Up Close: 99X/Atlanta Program Director and Brand Manager B.J. Kinard
|
|
In April, Cumulus-owned 99X/Atlanta returned to the airwaves at 97.9 FM, bringing back a format and brand to the airwaves that had sorely been missing in the market. The station re-emerged in the form of a 250-watt FM translator perched 1000 feet above the Atlanta metro. Now on paper, that may not seem like much, but the fact is the station’s metro reach, and more recently its returns, are turning more than a few heads. We recently spoke to 99X Program Director and Brand Manager B.J. Kinard about the station’s rise from the airwave ashes and what lies ahead for the legendary Modern Rocker.

On October 1, Clear Channel Pittsburgh and the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins will launch a new HD radio channel devoted specifically to the Penguins, the NHL and other hockey-related programming. Pittsburgh Penguins Radio will be a joint effort with 105.9 The X (WXDX), the team’s flagship station, and will be heard on the station’s HD-2 channel.
