All those Black Friday shoppers who rushed out to buy an HD radio (hahahahaha) are in for a treat: most of CC Madison's HD signals have been off the air for the last week (or longer).
I had been listening to WIBA-HD2 a little more often lately to see if it was as bad as I remembered -- previously, it had always been either off the air, or playing some mix of 90's grunge and active rock. I was pleasantly surprised over the last few weeks to find it both on the air and actually playing some new music including some not of the active-rock variety, like Grouplove "itchin' on a photograph."
Anyway, I checked in last Tuesday night and it was off air yet again, as was WZEE-HD. Both stations have been off air throughout the long weekend, and were still off-air this morning.
I've never really been able to get the HD signal on WXXM, so I'm not sure if that's on the air or not. WTSO-HD is also off the air (not sure how long it's been gone, but it's still listed on the hdradio.com site). The only CC Madison station I can currently receive in HD is WMAD.
Keep up the good work, Cheap Channel!
