What you have pointed out is one of the reasons IBOC is being pushed to
begin with - they want to attract more listeners = more money.

In regards to SW DRM, I can only surmise that the "digital" may attract
more listeners but the advertising dollars are not interested in an
international audience.
Unless DRM is designed to create more local and regional listeners which the
advertising
industry may respond to.

If the industry can't attract more listeners then the MW & SW will remain on
track to become the dinosaurs of broadcast media. Whatever the final
outcome may
be - Long Live Analog!
