I have noticed on my non HD receivers WIP is in mono but WPEN is in stereo. Why would the more powerful WIP be in mono, whereas WPEN should be in mono to get more coverage distance. I do not under stand that on my HD receivers WIP is in HD with 2 subs, can a signal be mono but still in HD, strange.

WIP MONO WPEN STEREO

Two different companies. That means different decision makers.
The modern thinking is that using mono to extend noise-free reception area is only marginally helpful.
Yes. The stereo carrier is totally independent of the HD sidebands.
Mono vs stereo is a myth/partial fact that only applies to FM, nopt AM
There's no AM station being discussed here.
LOL ... i wonder why my mind went there then? oops!
See how confusing that is? If, like some say, call letters aren't important anymore, why did they move them exclusively to the FMs? WIP will always be 610, WPEN will always be 950, to anyone who really loves radio.
WIP is the actual brand. And to plenty of people, they won’t always be 610 and 950, whether they love something or not. Time moves on.
Theoretically, if the FM is mono with no RDS, the additional bandwidth above (example) 20 KHz could be used for additional HD data.
I haven't looked at the HD modes available. One of course is HD using the full FM channel with no analog.
