Translators can be fed directly. Very few pick up the HD2 "parent" over the air.

If a translator is being fed directly, and they are using a HD subchannel on paper for the FCC, how long can they stay on if the station feeding the HD looses HD but the analog signal of the parent station stays on?
 
🙄FOX-FM has been dead on 96.1 HD for months and yet is still goin' strong on 102.1

EDIT: seeing now that this was discussed already

WSB HD2 is now playing “Mix Tape” hits from the 80s and 90s. WWPW HD2 is now playing “96.1 HD2 Peach” with a very similar format playing 80s and 90s also but seems more like the old Peach 94.9 soft AC. No WWPW HD3/4 yet and no Fox FM on HD.

I drove through Atlanta yesterday and the Peach format you describe is not on 96.1 HD2. They were playing Stone Temple Pilots when I turned in. I did not wait for an ID.

By rule, they're supposed to shut off immediately.

In practice, however...

The FCC now allows translators of daytime-only class D AMs to go 24 hours a day, even if there is no originating programming on the AM due to it being off the air.
