However, there are a "scad" (to avoid having to say either "many" or "most")
of AMs that do not deserve to exist, as they cover very little, or have
miserable facilities and high-Q DAs and no intent to improve. I just wonder
if IBOC may create a band cleansing in the process.

Could you clarify a portion of your statement for me? Are you really
saying that AM stations with little coverage should just go dark?
What about AMs that serve small towns and rural areas?

Just wondering...
