WBZ, Heal Thyself?

From Scott Fybush's North East Radio Watch of October 26, about WBIX-1060 wanting to increase power to 50 kw:

"WBIX's (on 1060) proposed return to Ashland could reignite a battle that kept the old WGTR from ever becoming fully licensed at the Ashland site: back then, WBZ (1030) objected to potential interference to its signal from the third-adjacent..."

With all the interference WBZ causes with it's IBOC garbage, isn't it a bit hypocritical that they would complain about potential interference from WBIX when WBZ is guilty of actual and continual interference? 1020 and 1040 suffer from WBZ's IBOC hash and I have trouble hearing KDKA. WBZ has also been the target of lawsuits by WYSL-1040 near Rochester because of their IBOC. Maybe if WBZ turned their IBOC off, they could actually complain about something like this with a straight face.
