Infinity to Debut Multicast ‘WJMK HD-2’ …

A second Infinity station in Chicago will multicast.
Infinity Broadcasting’s WJMK(FM) in Chicago is going to split its HD Radio signal into two stations. The FCC approved an experimental authorization for the station to multicast.
WJMK recently switched from oldies to the Jack format; now it will program ’60s and ’70s oldies on the multicast channel, called WJMK HD-2. The multicast station, due on the air this month, will be streamed online at www.wjmk.com.
Last month, WUSN became what Infinity says was the first independently programmed commercial station to multicast.
WUSN(FM) and WJMK(FM) VP/GM Dave Robbins said WJMK HD-2 would play the oldies format the market has known for 21 years.
Both digital broadcasts will include song, title and artist information displayed as text on HD Radio receivers.
