Just an example of interference from this wretched IBOC, listening

http://rhhardin.home.mindspring.com/imuscut.iboc.ram (25 seconds)

not a sterling moment in Imus but, at 22 seconds in, WSCR _670_ Chicago
flips on IBOC for the morning at 8:15am Eastern, and that's the end of
Imus on _660_.

(The glitch at 17 before that is switching the receiver from DSB to LSB, to get
rid of the 4 Hz wobble from WXIC being 4 Hz high in frequency; me being unaware
of what is coming down the tunnel in 5 seconds.)

Not that it's news to anybody, but just a recorded example at hand.

Of course, the official Ibiquity line is:

- You can't get WFAN in Ohio.
- You ought to be listening to your *local* stations.
- Yeah, the program (/format) you want to listen to isn't on any of your
locals, but the John Doofus Talk Extravaganza is; isn't that just as good?
- Oh, John Doofus isn't the same thing - you really want to listen to
*Imus*? He'll be on one of the IBOC subchannels of one of your local
FMs. Someday. Maybe.

Some advance, huh?

I do think IBOC will eventually sell millions of digital radios.

Millions of Sirius and XM digital radios.
