Radio processing
Yesterday flooding in the Chicago area knocked out power to the Willis Tower (née Sears Tower) atop which the broadcast antenna for WFMT 98.7 FM sits, a station I have been in the habit of listening to. There was static the whole day. This morning it was back on the air with the help of WBEZ, broadcasting from the top of the John Hancock building. The only difference is that now WFMT sounds nasty and tizzy, almost like it's clipping. I assume everything is being run through WBEZ's processing chain. As best I can tell through a few minutes of listening, the WFMT internet stream is unaffected by the sound changes in the analog broadcast. WFMT is a classical station and WBEZ is a public radio news and talk station (used to have some jazz, but not anymore). I'm surprised there would be such a dramatic difference between stations. What kinds of things are some of these stations likely doing to the audio and why? |
