This is the case for IBOC-AM. Skywave is pretty much what makes AM
useful and unique, and I think without it there is really no purpose to
the AM band any more. But we'll see.

But as David Eduardo has pointed out, skywave is no longer a factor in calculating a
station's reach. So under the circumstances, your suggestion is quite the case. The
fact that skywave propagation also makes an adjacent station's local coverage
unusable is a bigger concern. At that point, not only is the AM band of questionable
value, it's actually a complete waste with IBOC.
