 I'm strangely disappointed that a perfect test of IBUZ's effect on 
 TSL isn't possible until they turn it back on. If I were the GM or PD 
 I'd be extremely careful not to do anything to give WGCI and 
 advantage. WGN's claim on #1 is tenuous. Recent PD changes might have 
 something to do with it.

Rich,

The word has it that their IBOC exciter developed a problem and it has been 
sent back to Harris for repair. They hope to be back on the air with IBOC some 
time in the month of June. Will that still goof up your ratings experiment?
