1390 WNIO goes HD

January 3, 2009 Off By An Editor

Clear Channel chief engineer John Clarke has notified us that Nostalgia station 1390 WNIO is now broadcasting in HD as in HD Radio. He states that the carrier was turned on New Years Eve and will only be HD during the daylight hours due to the station using two different tower locations for day & night broadcasting. The 9.5KW power output should help with the HD signal covering the local area. Though I am getting it on my trip into Middlefield, Ohio as I type this on Saturday (1/3/09). Look for HD during the day on sister news talk outlet 570 WKBN in the near future as well.
