Those low power stations in NYC and Chicago are currently using it for a different reason. ATSC 3.0 technically allows for an analog FM side channel at the upper end of the channel's spectrum. In both of those cases, that lands right around 87.7 MHz, which is receivable on most FM radios. They run that as a defacto commercial radio station.
- Kon-Peki 3y agoHuh, so that gives them a TV station and a radio station for the price of a TV station? I wonder if the perceived benefit translates to an actual benefit in practice.
- RF_Enthusiast 3y agoYup! The Chicago one does pretty well in the ratings. It's easier to monetize an FM radio signal than a low power TV station.
