I dunno, but 80 miles away here in Milwaukee, the WGN IBOC signal was 
pretty clean.  During the day I was able to receive WLW (400+ miles 
away) even with the WGN IBOC signal on.  So to speculate that someone 
complained is a bit of a reach.  More than likely they are running a 
Harris which typically needs to be sent back to the shop.  WBBM and WSCR 
both needed to do that.  My bet is that they will be back on in two 
weeks.  Just like WBBM, WSCR and even WTMJ.
