I have always noticed that the sound on the HD Radio signal has been very low quality and degraded compared to the Analog signal. Every once in a while, they bother to fix it and it sounds fine again, but it always ends up breaking again. As for these new issues, my guess is a bad IP link or STL. I agree with MWmetalhead, I think Audacy's budget has hit rock bottom.

Guess they won't be hiring Ron Cameron anytime soon.

Still having phone issues as recently as the last segment. I'm streaming it on YouTube so I can't tell the OTA difference.

Or maybe they will. Before they do that the sound quality of 97.1 has to be of AM radio quality.

I couldn’t tell if it was just the audio or the terrible hosts on that station.
