What is it?
It's the most significant advancement in radio
broadcasting since the introduction of FM stereo more than 50 years
ago. HD Radio technology enables AM and FM radio stations to
broadcast their programs digitally - a tremendous technological
leap from the analog broadcasts of the past. HD Radio features
crystal-clear reception with no audio distortion, static, hiss,
pops or fades.
WSKG has made the transition to HD Radio on 4 of its 5
transmitters. Thanks to a significant matching grant from the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting, as well as several individual
and corporate donations, WSKG has been able to purchase the 4 new
transmitters with minimal impact on our operating budget. The new
transmitters are in Binghamton, Ithaca, Corning/Elmira and
Hornell/Alfred.

What does HD radio mean for you?
HD Radio technology features a dual digital and analog
signal that allows your current analog radio to work as it always
has. However, your purchase of
a new HD Radio, will allow you to pick up
WSKG's HD signal, as well as additional content, utilizing WSKG's
HD2 channel. WSKG's HD2 will be WSQX 91.5, your Jazz and News
Alternative, that's been serving Broome and Tioga counties since
1995.
Your HD Radio will also receive all of the analog
stations currently available in your area.
