KQBL-HD3
KQBL-HD3 is a subchannel of the HD Radio broadcast of KQBL-FM, a radio station licensed to Eagle, Idaho and serving the Boise metropolitan area. HD Radio allows FM stations to broadcast multiple digital subchannels, each offering distinct programming. In this case, KQBL-HD3 represents the third digital subchannel of KQBL-FM.
Typically, the programming on an HD Radio subchannel differs from the primary station's broadcast. This allows a station to target different audiences or offer specialized content without disrupting its main programming. The specific content broadcast on KQBL-HD3 can vary and may include formats such as alternative music, news, talk, or other specialized programming.
Listeners can access KQBL-HD3 through an HD Radio receiver. Unlike traditional analog FM radio, HD Radio requires a compatible digital receiver to decode the multiple channels broadcast by stations that utilize the technology. These receivers are commonly found in newer vehicles and are also available as aftermarket devices. The receiver will typically display the subchannel name (e.g., KQBL-HD3) and associated information, allowing the listener to select it as they would any other radio station.
The availability and programming of KQBL-HD3 are subject to change by the station owner, without prior notice.
