Can't take more than half an hour or so before having to switch to

Surely being a sound engineer you should be able to 'put a finger' on

Some sort of higher frequency "edgeiness" and sounding if it's being
driven into a 5:1 compressor fairly hard.

It may well be hammering a compressor. Like a great deal of radio. And
could have different processing from the same station on FM.
