You realize if they ever turn on HD at night, DXing will be history.

And the couple of hundred AM DXers left, most of whom are anti-radio and
luddites, will just be SOL.

Overly harsh assessment. I listen to stations out of the area for
content. Other people also fall into this group. Some advertising is
regional and national not just local so distant advertising does work.

The explanation of profit maximization is rather depressing. Three
items of note a (1) CKLW was ordered by the CRTC to cease and
desist in its whoring of the Detroit market and to follow Canadian
broadcast regulations. It complied and is now serving Windsor as a
less profitable operation. (2) CFRB (Canada's First Rogers Batteryless)
is a private station but has operated CFRX (6070) to serve the
boondocks
for at least half a century. As the skip lengthens out at night, it is
heard
all over the world. How does this fit the business model of maximum
profits?
(3) More and more stations are simulcasting on the internet. Why are
they
doing this if it doesn't maximize profits in their trading area?
It is amusimg that so many listerers who jeered at the BBC method
of financing the radio service are now rushing to pay the satellite
broadcasters $10 to get commercial-free programs. I am afraid that
quality programming will get lost in all this maximum profit drive.
Will the vast wasteland sound any better in digital?
