The problem with AM, in everybody's proprietary research, is that the

Yo yo yo... ever hear of C-QUAM??? It produces a hi fidelity analog
signal, IN ****ING STEREO, without subjecting the entire band to the
interference that IBOC does.

It was tried and failed, because there were legal delays that caused it to
be introduced after FM had already taking th edominant position in music
radio. Nobody cared, starting with most radio stations.

The only way to bring a quality improvement to AM is by riding on the same
system that FM uses to go digital.

By the way, it is not about stereo. It is about being digital.

And I've heard C-Quam STEREO signals from
hundreds of miles away via skywave at night. But, lo and behold, my
firends who have been ripped off by buying HD radios, can't seem to get
their digital carriers from across town...works welll... and the
buzzsaw on the main and adjacent channels, I just love it.

The stations love it. It enhances the coverage of analog AMs where it
matters, in the local market.

CQuam is dead. It was dead in 1985. Move on.
