Telamon,

The old Road Trip where you could may be travel 75 to 150 Miles
while 'listening' to the same AM Radio Station will be a thing of
the past with IBOC.

Most listening is NOT to AM anymore. Why not accept tha tthis may be an
opportunity to make AM move viable for the future?

Every 35-50 Miles will require a the selection of a new AM Radio
Station and tuning in the locals as you go.

This jus tis not true, as listening to the HD stations in LA and San Diego
will prove.

. IBOC should
greatly benefit local AM Radio Stations and actually cut into the
Coverage Area of the old time 50KW Clear Channels due to all
the Adjacent Channel Noise that IBOC will generate across the
Band.

Since none of the clear channel stations (with all caps, it is a company,
not a class) really cares about covedring much else than the local metro
area and immediate fringe area, this will not affect anyone. Probably 95% of
the revenue of these, and all AMs, is generated in the daylight hours and
inside the primary groundwave contour.
