Rachel- there was (and is) a thread here about this very topic. I scoped them 
out yesterday, and not only are they very loudly throwing that hash to either 
side, it is very clearly audible even when tuned to their own signals! Even 
in the "narrow" mode, my Superadio III picks up that hiss strongly enough to be 
objectionable. By careful tuning, I found a noticable "dip" in the hiss 
volume at the exact center of the station's signal, but it's still there, still 
annoying. Because WCBS carries Yankees games, I have tuned in to them quite 
often. That noise is a tune-out factor. Thankfully, WICC 600 also carries the 
games, so I can listen to them, buzz-free, there.

WCBS and WFAN are the strongest signals (in my area) that have activated 
their buzz saws. (More than 10mv, each.) I shudder to think what it's going to be 
like if/when more stations start jumping onto this bandwagon. (bandsaw?)
