: : I don't know how they managed this but WLFM actually has RDS now

: : Simply says "WLFM"

: There's nothing really to it. An FM signal is an FM signal, and capable of carrying the 57khz signal.

How hard would it be to extract the song title/artist info. and put that over the air with the WLFM display? They're already exporting the data to the web server and that info. can be seen at:

I have asked Pat Kelley if their engineer(s) could add the Title/Artist feature to the over-the-air signal...

btw no word yet on when the FCC will approve the omnidirectional antenna WLFM has applied for (that should clear some trouble spots some listeners are having in the DA's nulls)
