From
The General Manager:
Greetings from the Bioscience and Information Technology
Center.
Here's an update on our HD technology.
As you may know, WGTD began broadcasting in HD last summer.
For listeners with an HD radio, that means crystal-clear quality, and the
opportunity to pick up additional channels from WGTD and other radio stations in
the area.
We're continuing to develop a 24/7 jazz format for HD2.
Once our digital library is fully-loaded, and a mission statement is adopted
with some policies and procedures we're going to actively solicit volunteer help
to host programs.
We envision that HD3 will serve a variety of constituencies
with block programming. We expect to broadcast old time radio and Morning Show
segments that pre-date our internet archive, along with rebroadcasts of
programming from the Gateway Radio Reading Service and simulcasts of sports
play-by-play that currently can only be heard on the internet. Other plans for
HD3 are in the works, and will be announced when agreements are finalized.
This is a very exciting time at WGTD, but we're striving to
development the new services without an increase in budget and without taking
resources away from WGTD.

are currently on the market, click the banner ads on the right.
Again, thank you for your support.
