They don't allow HD on AM after sunset.. That should help


They will, eventually. The real issue is that nearly nobody listens to AM
at
night, anyway.


IBOC will never be approved for nighttime AM. Many people listen to
nighttime AM, because talk shows are highly rated.


No, they are not "highly rated" if at night. AM audience at night is a lower
percentage of total radio audience than in the daytime. The total radio
rating at night (7 to Midnight) is around a 7 (7% of the universe) and AM is
only a couple of percent. Talk is not a majority format.
